The Cobalt


The Cobalt, she is a rare and stunning seersucker cotton early 70s mini dress dream by coveted designer Jean Varon.

Cobalt is a true dream. She has the most amazing details with amazing buttons, dagger collar, ruffle details, voluminous sleeves and a flared skirt. This beauty truly is the holy grail of all mini dresses indeed!

Jean Varon is one of the most coveted and sought after labels of the period.

This girl measures to approx UK size 8/10.

Bust - 36" 

Waist - 28"

Length -  39"

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

Cobalt 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.

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.
