Rare vintage 1970s sheer silk chiffon dress by Treacy Lowe in an ethereal turquoise blue with intricate purple medallion print throughout. This beautifully romantic piece features exquisite hand-smocked detailing across the shoulders and yoke, a delicate tie neckline, and voluminous semi-sheer bishop sleeves gathered at the cuffs.
The silhouette falls softly and fluidly from the smocked bodice, creating graceful movement and an effortlessly bohemian feel synonymous with coveted 1970s London boutique fashion. The lightweight silk chiffon outer layer is paired with a satin lining, giving the dress beautiful depth and drape while maintaining its airy, delicate appearance.
An exceptionally rare archival piece with undeniable presence and artistry.
Condition

Repairs are visible upon close inspection and reflected in pricing. Despite its fragility, the dress presents beautifully when worn or displayed and remains an extraordinary collector’s piece for lovers of rare vintage fashion.
