Vintage Berkertex Metallic Stripe Evening Maxi Dress

Vintage Berkertex Metallic Stripe Evening Maxi Dress

£65.00

A striking vintage evening dress by Berkertex, made in England and dating from the late 1960s or early 1970s. The dress brings together a rich olive green bodice with a dramatic full-length skirt woven with alternating olive, mustard and shimmering metallic gold stripes. The combination of colour, texture and metallic detail gives the piece a wonderful sense of occasion while retaining the distinctive character of British vintage fashion.

The bodice has a softly structured cowl-style neckline with a striped detail through the inner collar. Long, voluminous sleeves finish with wide statement cuffs in the coordinating striped fabric. A defined waist and slim fabric bow lead into the long, column-style skirt. The original Berkertex label and period detailing make this a particularly special piece for anyone who appreciates authentic vintage eveningwear.
