Ivory and Chocolate Stripe Floral Aywon Dress 'VIP'

Stripes and daisies! Who would have thought such a simple combination could look so fabulous? This Aywon vintage dress from an Australian private collection features fine vertical stripes in chocolate brown, rust and soft beige against an ivory background, with little outlined flowers scattered throughout. The sleeveless design has a neat, pointed collar and a row of ivory buttons running down the front. Beautifully shaped through the bodice and waist, the skirt gradually widens towards the hem, creating a feminine A-line silhouette. The combination of tailored lines and playful floral detailing is a lovely example of the everyday fashions that were so popular during the 60s and 70s.

For a little contemporary styling, try this dress with a turquoise cropped cardigan and tan leather sandals, or introduce a touch of 70s colour with an avocado green jacket and chunky wooden bangles. A pair of sunflower yellow sandals would be fabulous for a day out, while a vintage leather crossbody bag and simple gold hoops are lovely finishing touches for everyday wear.
