The Chantilly

Meet Chantilly, she is an absolutely unbelievable and rare 1970s cotton prairie dream dress by California, she is also lined. This is an absolutely stunning piece, and a true dream dress indeed.. She has a stunning soft colourway in pinks and blues with a beautiful wallpaper striped print. She has a deep hand embroidered waistband, high frilled embroidered collar and beautiful embroidered cuffs to finish off those stunning sleeves. Chantilly is an absolute dream come true and I cannot wait to see where she is heading today..

This girl measures to approx UK size 10, could also possibly work on a UK 8 or small waisted 12

Bust - up to 38"

Waist - 29"

Length -  56"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Chantilly has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear.

This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
