Vintage Handmade Mod Print Dress Set with Reversible Knit Sweater & Fringed Piano Shawl
Couldn't load pickup availability
A rare, fully handmade three-piece ensemble: a dress, a reversible sweater, and a fringed piano shawl, all made to go together. It came from the wardrobe of a woman who sewed much of her own clothing, and every piece shows her eye and her skill. The print is a joyful patchwork of mod geometrics in burnt orange, rust, olive, gold, and chocolate brown, with dots, starbursts, checks, and zigzags tumbling across every square.
The dress is cut from a silky twill with the feel of silk, with an easy straight skirt and an adjustable drawstring waist tied with black cord.
The sweater is a cropped, elbow-sleeve bolero in a chunky black knit with the feel of wool, fully lined in the matching print right up through the collar. Wear it knit-side out for contrast, or flip it to the print side for a head-to-toe pattern moment.
The piano shawl is finished on every edge with a deep, crocheted black fringe. Knot it at the neck, drape it over the shoulders, or wrap it as a sash.
Wear all three together for a completely styled look, or mix each piece into your own wardrobe.
