1970's colorful border print maxi dress, southwestern print with dramatic bishop sleeves 50s shirtdress Closure is a metal back

Closure is a metal back zipper that matches perfectly and it has a hook and eye at the top

Length - 42"

When I bought this set is was raw at the top with no waistband so I had my tailor add a waistband which she did expertly with a thick cotton piping and it closes with a snap at the top and a metal zipper down the side

Across the back is a large bow that snaps on - no idea why it snaps but that is how it was designed so I've kept it snapped instead of tacking it on

I noticed a small area on that doubled tier where it looks like it got a bit scratched but there are not holes
