Stunning authentic 1970s British boutique tea dress from the highly collectable label Bus Stop by Lee Bender.
This dress beautifully embodies the iconic 1940s-does-1970s silhouette. It features a tailored, flattering button-through front accented with fabric-covered buttons, an elegant pointed revere collar, and feminine widely flared flutter sleeves.
The dress is nipped in at the waist before falling to a classic midi length with a gently ruffled hemline. Crafted from a lightweight, fluid viscose fabric that drapes beautifully, it showcases a truly striking, stylized Art Deco geometric print. It has interlocking cream, pale blue salmon and orange arches set against a rich, dark sage green background speckled with mini cream flecks. Gently gathered yoke detail across the back shoulders. Pocket to each hip.
