Meet Fortress, she is the most incredible and RARE late 60s early 70s prairie beauty by one of my favourite labels of the time, Quad. She is made from a soft crepe style fibre. She has the most stunning silhouette, with juliet sleeves, high waist, flowing skirt frill collar. I love her lace body overlay, and that button detailing is just adorable. This beauty is extremely special, she is one of those iconic vintage dresses that I just know I'll be lucky to source again. I can't wait to see where she is headed.
This girl measures to approx UK size 10/12
Bust - up to 37" - 38"
Waist - 32"
Length - 55"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
She 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. She has a few marks to her collar and upper side skirt, these are tiny and barely noticeable, her top button loop is also a little worn but is still strong and secure. One tiny pin prick to her skirt.
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.
