Background of the Brand / Fabric / Style / Era:
This late 1960s paisley maxi dress captures the transitional spirit between mod structure and bohemian freedom. Paisley prints were a defining motif of the era, associated with both psychedelic style and global textile influences. The vertical alignment of the pattern offers a flattering line and sense of movement, while the natural-feel fabric and original metal zipper indicate it was produced just before synthetic fibres became widespread in the 1970s.
