Step back in time with this breathtaking, authentic 1970s vintage prairie maxi dress. A true labor of love, this piece features a custom "Specially Hand Made By Nancy" woven vintage tag and a classic vintage metal Donahue zipper down the back.

The dress is crafted from a beautiful, textured cream canvas/linen blend fabric with natural slubbing throughout. The focal point is a striking, heavily textured, hand-embroidered floral bouquet on the bodice in vibrant magenta-pink and kelly green, tied together with an oversized lavender-purple ribbon.

Feminine details abound, including delicate ivory lace trim along the high neckline, bib bodice, and cuffs. Features a classic empire waist silhouette, an attached self-tie sash to perfectly cinch the waist, and a dramatic tiered ruffle hemline. Perfect for cottagecore style enthusiasts, historical costuming, or vintage editorial styling.
