I am the original and only owner of this vintage empire maxi dress. It hasn't passed through multiple owners via estate sales and thrift shops. I graduated from high school in 1974 and wore this dress in the early 70s.
Please view photos for complete details and contact me with any questions.
The size tag says 7, but sizes were much smaller proportioned in the 70s. I would consider it to be similar to today's size XS (0 or 1). See measurements below.
Color: fantastic blend of purple and lavender in a groovy 70s pattern (fading on one sleeve and the back bottom hemline area)
No fabric composition tag, but dress is dry clean only
Vintage 70s empire waist styling with tie back
Full-length sleeves with elasticized cuffs
Back zipper closure
Measurements:
33" chest circumference
56-1/2" length shoulder to hem (143.5 cm)
49" hemline width circumference (124.5 cm)
29-1/2" sleeves (neck nape to cuff)
Please view the measurements above to determine if this is the size for you.
