Meet Sakura, she is an absolutely stunning and rare 1970s Vivien Smith of York prairie dream, she is crafted in a delicate lightweight cotton and is lined. Sakura has the coolest ever retro 70s print in a gorgeous rich brown shade and beautiful white broderie anglaise frill detailing. Her sleeves are divine and so floaty with a beautiful frill cuff. She has that classic prairie silhouette we all love, with nipped in waist and a high collar. Honestly, Sakura is a true treasure to behold, early Vivien Smith pieces rarely ever come up for sale and this beauty really is such a fine example, I highly doubt this dress will ever be sourced again...
This girl would work on UK sizes 8/10 best.
Bust - up to 35"
Waist - 27"
Length - 52"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
The Sakura 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, including a few small nicks to her fabric in places. This is very minor and does not detract.
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.
