MUST HAVE! | Fernwen Fennel | Vintage 1960s 1970s Green black white striped Pussy-bow dress Tiger Roar
The story:
Tiger stripes. Or ferns in a forest. In the 4 years since our shop has opened its doors, and the decades we have been collecting vintage, we have only come across this print twice. The first, in brown, on a midi skirt. It has since gone to a good home, though we occasionally think of it fondly.
But this one really takes the cake. A full dress, and in one of our favourite color and print. So well made, and well preserved. From the tucks at the shoulders and the tiniest hint of a cap sleeve, to the dynamic flow of the skirt, the long ribbon neck-tie that makes up a fab pussy-bow and the jet-black buttons.
We love this and if this fit us, we would have kept it in a heartbeat!
