Step into a piece of wearable history. This breathtaking vintage maxi gown is an absolute work of art, handcrafted with love and featuring intricate, vibrant folk-style embroidery.
Crafted from a substantial, heavy linen-muslin blend, the fabric provides a beautiful structured drape. Elaborate, multi-colored geometric and botanical threadwork spans across the front bodice, down the length of the skirt, and details the statement long sleeves.
Designed with a classic zipper back closure, the construction details showcase true vintage craftsmanship. The generous hem is entirely hand-finished with extra fabric left intact, offering plenty of room for length adjustments or custom alterations.

- Waist: 13 inches (features a beautifully tiny, defined waist)
- Overall Length: Approximately 57 inches
Condition Notes:
As a genuine piece of vintage history, this garment is not in pristine condition and shows gentle signs of its past life. There are some visible watermarks on the fabric body. Additionally, there is a stain on the underside/lining near the hem that does not show through to the front of the gown. This rare textile treasure has been priced accordingly to reflect these vintage imperfections. Perfect for collectors or anyone who cherishes authentic, slow-fashion craftsmanship.
