Item Details
This beautiful vintage maxi dress is a wonderful example of the transition from late 1960s fashion into the flowing, relaxed styles of the early 1970s. Made by R.A.R. Designer Fashions for Saks Fifth Avenue, it combines a flattering silhouette with lovely decorative details and the comfort of soft, stretchy fabric.
The dress is a gorgeous coral-orange shade and features a floor-length skirt, long sleeves, and a high, empire-style waist. The upper portion is made of a soft, ribbed, jersey-like fabric with plenty of stretch, making it especially comfortable to wear.
The square neckline is particularly charming, with a delicate lace inset surrounded by colorful floral embroidery and decorative ric-rac trim. Additional ric-rac accents the high waistline and sleeve cuffs, adding just the right touch of vintage whimsy.
This is such a versatile dress! It has enough style and elegance for a special occasion, dinner party, or vintage-themed event, yet its soft, comfortable fabric makes it equally appealing for lounging at home. It's a wonderful example of the easygoing glamour that made 1970s fashion so distinctive.
There is no size label, but based on the measurements, we estimate it would fit approximately a modern size Small (4–6). Please refer to the measurements below, as vintage sizing can differ considerably from today's standards.
MEASUREMENTS:
Measurements were taken with the dress laid flat. Because the fabric has some stretch, the actual bust, waist, hip, and hem circumferences may be slightly greater than twice the measurements listed.

Waist (high/empire waist): 13"
Hips: 18"
Shoulder to shoulder: 15"
Bottom hem: 29"
Length from shoulder to hem: 58"
Please compare these measurements with a similar garment that fits you comfortably.
