The early seventies saw the house of Lanvin dive full on into the bright and riotous colors of the era and they produced some of the best of the bright, full length maxi dress that you could ask for! This one is particularly great with it's bright and colorful floral design on a black jersey backdrop. I love the long lean silhouette of the dress and the way the color intensifies as it nears the hem. This gives the illusion of height and makes the wearer look thin and tall. The bodice is a simple halter style with the straps that creates the shoulders going through the front to tie at the low plunging neckline. I have dated this as being from the 1973 collection based on the reference photo from a similar dress photoed for L'Officiel magazine. It looks to have never been worn and the fabric is virtually wrinkle resistant so it is perfect to travel with and wear with no fear of wrinkles. Excellent condition

Unlined and slips on to wear with an adjustable halter at the front. It is made of a washable poly jersey.
