£160.00
Sold Out

An entirely wonderful 1970s handmade French calico cotton maxi dress. This piece is such a wrench to let go as if it fit me I would very much be keeping it! My favourite find from a recent sourcing trip to the markets of Paris. Lovely natural ecru in colour with a high neckline & long ballooned mutton sleeves with a sweet broderie anglaise trim. This is mirrored in triple panels either side of the bust as well as at the hem. Long flared skirt with wide pintuck panels for a lovely weight. Rear zip closure. Size 10.

Measurements (these are taken from the rear of the garment when laid flat so need to be doubled where appropriate):

Pit to pit: 18”

Waist: 14”

Full length: 55”


Material: cotton

Condition: very good 

When choosing to buy vintage please bear in mind these items have been loved before & may show general wear and use in accordance with their age. Any noticeable flaws will be noted in the listing. Please review both descriptions & photos carefully before making a purchase.

Sizings are all approximate in line with the measurements of any particular piece, to be sure something is the right fit for you we recommend checking these against a similar garment you already own before making your decision.

All sales are final however I’m always happy to re-share pieces to socials in the event of them not being suitable for whatever reason in the hope of finding them a new home. For further details on how that works or for any other queries, feel free to contact us at cordialvintage@gmail.com or message us on instagram & I’ll do my best to assist.
