Super Rare 1970s The Dove Clothing Company Victorian Prairie Blue Cotton Dress Small

This is a stunning super rare tiered dress by The Dove Company who ran a boutique shop in Norwich making their own block print fabric, bolder than Laura Ashley but similar styles.

This dress is maxi length, full length sleeve with a slight puff on the shoulder, cotton block printed with a square shaped neckline, high empire bust line and a tie at the rear that cinches in to fit the wearer.

It’s a lovely shade of blue with a stylised repeated pattern of flowers in burgundy and navy olives or berries on vines interlocking.

It fastens with a zip up the back, seams are overlocked on the inside.

There are so size labels but I am in the photo of the dress and I am pretty standard size 8, 5”6’ tall. Measurements of it laid flat as a guide below:

Armpit - Armpit: 41cm
Back of neck to bottom hem: 129cm (with extra 8cm /3” where it has been taken up).
100% Cotton
