1970s Young Edwardian Flutter Sleeve Long Dress

 

 

 

 

In the 1970s, Arpeja's Young Edwardian line was the average American girl's answer to the British Forties revival, for those millions who could never hope to afford an Ossie Clark or a Biba, but longed to go to the prom decked out like Mick Jagger's old lady. And a very cute facsimile this is.  With it's empire cut, the bodice has a sweetly sexy low v cut, with a cute little flutter sleeve and a moderately wide waist band at the front that ties in back. The fabric is a very lightweight synthetic crepe that can be hand washed, in a lovely rust, teal and ivory hibiscus print.  The bust measures 34", waist 30", length is 56". Excellent condition. $185
