Vintage 1990s Studio Artisan "Wearable Art" Shift Dress with Pockets
Make a bold statement in this truly unique, boutique-tailored vintage shift dress from the late 1980s or early 1990s. Crafted by a skilled studio artist or independent dressmaker, this piece features an eye-catching, painterly abstract collage print with floral roses, geometric color-blocking, spirals, and spheres in rich jewel tones of cobalt blue, plum purple, emerald green, magenta, gold, and cream.
Bespoke Features & Tailoring:
• Fabric: Medium-weight, breathable woven fabric with a softly brushed, cozy flannel-like finish on the outside and a smooth plain-weave interior (feels like a sturdy cotton or cotton-rayon blend; no fabric content tag). Great weight for fall and winter layering.
• Tailored Details: Finished with a black open-weave trim binding along the crew neckline, pressed selvedge-edge center seams for a flat drape, and cleanly serged interior seams (intentionally made without commercial tags).
• Pockets & Belt Loops: Features hidden in-seam side pockets and matching fabric belt loops at the waist so you can wear it relaxed or cinched with your favorite belt (belt not included).
• Silhouette: Easy pullover shift design with short sleeves and no zippers or buttons.
Approximate Flat Measurements:
• Chest (Pit-to-Pit): 23.5" (47" doubled — fits approximately Women's XL / 1X depending on desired drape)
• Length (Shoulder to Hem): 35"
(Please compare measurements to a similar garment you own to ensure a great fit.)
