This true vintage Jean Muir black jersey maxi dress was designed during her 1970s heyday. Made in England, it features a generously cut, loose body and full-flowing skirt that falls to the floor. The elegant heavy jersey fabric is cleverly cut to skim the curves of the body in the most flattering manner. The skirt has a drop waistband, below which it is softly pleated and gives way to sweeping, floor length hemline. The neckline is cut to a gentle V-shape and trimmed with a ruffle satin ribbon in black. It is finished with a large ruffled collar, also trimmed with black ribbon. The collar parts at the back of the neck whilst the long-sleeves have a dramatic bell-cut design with gathered buttoned cuffs. The dress is unlined and fastens at the back with a hidden tonal black zip and hook-and-eye clasp.

In truly excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. It is made from 100% Viscose with 100% rayon trim.
