Vintage Elisabeth Stewart Purple & Green Maxi Dress — Tagged Size 12
Eye-catching Elisabeth Stewart maxi dress with a bold purple and bright green abstract print (Vey 70s Psychedelic!) stretchy straps, and a gathered fabric-covered ring detail at the neckline and in back with a key hole detail additionally underneath. The long silhouette and vibrant color combination create a playful retro look.
Made from very stretchy fabric with stretchy straps, a built-in shelf bra, and molded cups. Estimated to date to the 1970s based on the design and construction; Seems to be a swim/resort style dress.
Resort, Vacation & Summer Styling
A colorful choice for a winter beach vacation, resort stay, cruise, or summer outing. Dress it down with flat sandals, a woven bag, and simple earrings for an easy daytime look.
For vacation dinners or a summer party, dress it up with gold heels, gold jewelry, and a small evening bag. The bold print makes a statement without needing elaborate accessories.
Halloween & Retro Party Styling
A fun starting point for a \'70s-inspired Halloween costume or retro theme party. Add a feather boa, platform shoes, oversized sunglasses, and bold jewelry for a playful disco-era-inspired ensemble.
The purple and green color combination would also make a fun base for a playful Barney-inspired Halloween costume. Add a dinosaur headband and coordinating accessories to complete your own interpretation. (Note:This is an Elisabeth Stewart dress, not licensed Barney merchandise.)
After Halloween, swap the costume accessories for sandals or gold heels and wear it again as a colorful resort or summer dress.
Listing includes the dress only. Hanger, shoes, jewelry, boa, bags, and suggested costume accessories are not included.
