The Ione

Meet Ione, she is a beautiful 1970s cotton midi beauty, her tags have been cut but I am 99.9% sure this is a Richard Shops dress! She has a gorgeous shape with a beautiful smocked bodice, high collar, button closure front, sweet cap sleeves and a tiered skirt. Her print is divine and this beauty will look so gorgeous paired with boots for the ultimate autumn look! 

This girl would work on UK sizes 10/12 possibly 14 best.

Bust - up to 39"

Waist - up to 36" - this can cinched with her waist ties.

Length -  43"

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

The Ione 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.
