A cool example of the fearless prints that defined 1960s fashion.
This vintage ankle-length dress is cut in a simple, elegant silhouette that lets the pattern do all the talking. The fabric is covered in a bold mix of geometric shapes and stylised florals in red, blue, purple and white - unmistakably 1960s.
The dress features a clean round neckline and 3/4 length sleeves that fall close to the wrist, balancing the drama of the print with a very classic shape. It fastens neatly with a centre back zip and falls to an ankle-length hem.
It’s the kind of vintage piece that manages to be both statement-making and timeless at the same time - a strong print paired with a silhouette that still feels completely wearable today.

I’d always wondered how they got those perfect column dresses to look so perfectly smooth - and now I know! Amazing dress, lovely colour and it arrived quickly.
The dress was in the same condition as the picture. It was lovely. I bought it knowing it was a size up from my usual size. I will alter it to fit me better. But I loved the design so much.
Beautiful vintage dress in perfect condition, perfect fit, speedy delivery. Sweets and sticker included in my parcel upon delivery was a lovely suprise.
Gorgeous dress! Really happy with it. Beautifully packaged. Delivery a little slow but worth the wait. I'll definitely buy from Violet Vintage again and highly recommend
