An exquisite example of cottage core chic, straight from the Victoriana revival in the 1970s. This ever so pretty prairie dress is crafted by coveted Australian designer label Prue Acton in the most gorgeous floral, corduroy, gingham and striped patchwork fabrication. Bordered by an embroidered ribbon detail along the bust, neckline, blouson sleeve cuffs and long the bottom ruffle, the dress features a high mandarin collar, buttons through the front, a fitted waist and a full tiered midi skirt.

She's perfection paired back with chunky clogs and a straw bag; made for market mornings and afternoon chai teas.

Mixed materials.

 

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age - no noticeable faults. She presents beautifully.

MeasurementsArmpit to armpit - 44cm flat, Waist - 34cm flat across, Length - 115cm.

Tagged a vintage size 14, I would estimate this would be suitable for a XS/S, around a modern 6/8 in AUS sizing depending on desired fit/measurements. I’m a 10 (90cm/70cm/92cm) and I cannot do it up at all.
