My 1970's Vintage Valentine

It's been a while but #fridaysfrock is back, and today I'm showcasing a flirty 1970's maxi dress in lipstick red, perfect for an impending Valentine's date.

1970's red empire line maxi dress

Given the political and social changes of the 1970's, women's fashion was extremely varied - from Boho chic inspired by the 60's to dazzling disco, micro minis to maxis and everything in between.

This hot little number has no label, but the empire bust and exaggerated floaty sleeves scream 1970's. The elegant fit, vivid colour and chiffon fabric, makes this dress ideal as romantic eveningwear.

To complement this 1970's darling, add a floppy hat, oversized sunglasses and beads for the day, or a thin lurex scarf and dangling earrings for the evening. Farrah Fawcett flicks are a definite must.

    1. Thanks Alan! This dress is one of my favs and I am kind of hoping it doesn't seel, but then that would be cramming another vintage lovely into my wardrobe which is already about to burst ;-)
