Description:

Item: 1970s long sleeve mini dress by Clico in a knit fabric. Mustard ground with a large-scale all-over floral print: white daisies with lilac centres densely packed across the fabric, interspersed with larger abstract poppy-like blooms in red, green and olive. Wide pointed collar, short button placket with pearlescent buttons, self-fabric tie belt, long sleeves with buttoned turn-back cuffs, and a straight, relaxed cut. A warm, full-on print on a well-constructed everyday dress.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Clico

Condition: Very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.

Provenance Note: The daisy print on a mustard ground places this squarely in the optimistic visual language of the early 1970s, the white flowers sitting densely against the warm yellow in a way that feels full without being cluttered. The addition of the larger abstract blooms in red and green breaks the regularity of the daisy repeat and gives the print a layered quality, the two scales of flower working together across the fabric. The wide collar and turn-back cuffs are period details handled with confidence, and the self-fabric belt gives the dress a waist without structuring it too rigidly. A cheerful, well-made piece.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
