|
|---|
| Early 70's maxi sun dress by Rose-Marie Reid. Features: hidden bra/support. Rear enclosed zip. Tie fastener to the front. Hand-finished and very high quality. The dress is decorated with a swirly leaf motif in brown, white and burnt orange on black background. Made from high quality polyester knit - it has a very smooth texture.
Labelled Rose Marie Reid from the limited edition range.

She would have been in her late sixties at the time this dress was manufactured.
