The Folklore


Meet Folklore, she is a stunning and super rare 1970s handmade woven wool prairie dress. This piece is incredibly special and is absolutely a true treasure to behold. The hours of craft that have went into this beauty is truly unbelievable, she is adorned with the most stunning detailed hand embroidery and sweet floral trims and is filled with the most incredible features. She has a beautiful cut with high collar, deep waistband and stunning sleeves. Her centre bodice has a lace up corset style detail which will look phenomenal when worn. She is thick, soft and is fantastic quality, she is a one of a kind dream and I know she will be treasured in her next abode..

This girl measures to approx UK size 10/12

Bust - up to 38"

Waist - 29"

Length -  56"

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

The Folklore has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. Dry clean only. 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.
