This authentic vintage dress has that unmistakable 1970s attitude: a clean, sleek green bodice with an exaggerated pointed collar in a vivid geometric print, then a matching printed skirt that brings the movement. The collar length and shape are a big clue to the era, and the neat front button placket adds to that tailored, daytime to dinner polish that seventies dressing did so well.

Construction wise, the silhouette is built through shaping seams and a defined join where the skirt is set in, giving structure up top and an easy swish below. The crisp collar suggests interfacing for that sharp line, and the colour matched buttons keep the look intentional rather than fussy.

Let the collar be your jewellery and keep the neckline clear, then choose a simple sandal for day or a heeled mule for evening. If you are a bit fuller on your bottom half than your top half, the bold collar visually balances the look beautifully, while the skirt does its job with confidence and ease.

You wont find another with this sensational swish!
