The Diana: Vintage 1970s Candi Jones Bridal Peplum Dress

California was a heavenly landscape for many, many brands from the 1950s onwards. It is easy to see why such a beautiful, blossoming place would provide so many creatives with inspiration. Candi Jones of California is a brand with a lot of mystery. They were active from the late 1950s-1980s, and like Gunne Sax their clothes have become a highly-desired cult commodity in the cottagecore and romantic revival community, owing to their prairie style pieces.

But often Candi Jones dresses stand apart from those niches with a more refined kind of elegance. The quality of their work, in both design and finish, is frequently remarked upon by collector's. This stunning piece is no exception, with delicate, beautiful lace covering the shoulders and arms, and a gorgeous silky peplum sitting below a figure-hugging waist. 

A true work of art, she has potential to be worn for many occasions, from bridal ceremonies to dinner parties or red-carpet walks. She is in lovely condition with no meaningful flaws beyond a tint repair on the right upper arm which is not noticeable due to it being on the lace.
