Vintage Marisa Martin 1970s Silk Panel Midi Dress With Hand-Embroidered Flowers & Birds

Another beautifully rare piece of British fashion history. Stumbling upon a Marisa Martin piece from the 1970s is like stumbling upon a well-kept secret. Renowned for her exquisite work, this midi dress is a beacon that burns with the romantic bohemian spirit of that era. You'll notice the striking blue-green viscose, like a rainforest river reflecting the surrounding greenery. You'll notice the batwing sleeves, giving some pure 1970s energy. But the real soul - the core feature - lies in the silk-panelled, apron-style front, which has the most stunning hand embroidery of birds and flowers presented upon a background of glowing gold.

As this is a genuine Marisa Martin, it is an investment for any fashion collector. However, we firmly believe that this level of exquisiteness deserves to be worn and shown-off with pride. This truly is a work of art, not just a bit of clothing.
