1970s Black Knit Dress with Striped Sleeves

 

 

 

 

We love the insouciant vibe of this dress - a cross between Pippi Longstocking and Betsey Johnson - its the Little Black Dress for the gal who is a little more unconventional than traditional and aren't content to run with the rest of the herd. Black knit in what feels like a soft wool/acrylic blend, the sleeves are striped in bright yellow, red, teal blue and black, with a little striped patch pocket at the chest. Has a round ribbed neck, and a back zipper closure. Has thread loops for a belt, which is long gone, so we've shown it with a yellow Anne Klein leather one (available separately), but a black or red one will work as well, or just forget the belt altogether. Flat unstretched measurements are bust 35", waist 33, hip 38", shoulder 16", sleeve 24", length 35". Made in Italy and, except for a mend next to the pocket, in excellent condition.  $95
