This is a delightful dress made in Nepal in 100% cotton, dating from the 70s or 80s, I'm not quite sure.

The background colour is black with the design in red and greens with a touch of blue.  The dramatic colour palette gives the dress an air of depth and richness.

The contrast panel at the front has a row of buttons and goes down to the gathered waistline.  

The skirt has three tiers- the bottom tier has a deep border. 

Very full balloon sleeves with a frilled elasticated cuff. 

Wear in summer with strappy sandals or will carry you through into Autumn or Winter with high boots.

The label size is M but I have listed it as S/M being vintage and coming up a bit on the small side.  

Armpit to armpit 18 iinches;  top of shoulder to hem 46 inches.
