- Best fits: Small–Medium (based on stretch and cut)
Description:
Unique 1970s handmade/upcycled boho dress designed to look like separates. The bodice is a machine‑made rib knit tank top with metallic gold lurex striping, originally a standalone garment from the era. The skirt is a gathered Indian‑print cotton in warm orange and cream with floral/mandala motifs. Both pieces were combined in the 1970s using an off‑white exposed elastic waistband, a classic home‑sewing/boutique construction method of the time.
The result is a one‑of‑a‑kind boho festival dress with authentic 70s character, mixing textures and prints in a way that feels both vintage and wearable.
