Hippie Gem Vintage 70s Classic Stand Collar Angel-Sleeve Hand-Stamped Floral Maxi Dress

A quintessential angel-sleeve maxi dress from the 1970s. Back then, San Francisco hippies often wore garments adorned with flowers and ethnic patterns to express their free-spirited ethos. These angel sleeves are a hallmark of the era, a truly classic design. Simply recognizing this sleeve style can almost pinpoint the garment's historical context. And this romantic, bohemian, floor-length dress design was a favorite among hippies. The pattern on this maxi dress is hand-stamped, and the material is pure cotton. It features a stand collar and buttons down the front. Overall, it is in excellent condition! / Hand-stamped patterns may exhibit slight misalignments or incomplete motifs, which is perfectly normal! The charm of hand-stamped designs lies precisely in these artisanal imperfections, lending them a high degree of distinctiveness. Furthermore, the dyes used are typically derived from natural minerals and plants. Depending on the climate conditions during the drying process, even the same dye can result in subtle color variations, making each batch of fabric uniquely hued. Considering these factors, those with a perfectionist inclination may wish to reconsider! 1. Indian hand-stamped clothing often uses natural plant and mineral dyes, and no chemical fixatives are applied after dyeing. Therefore, some color bleeding is expected during washing. Hand washing separately is strongly recommended to ensure the longevity of the garment. If machine washing is necessary, please use a suitably sized laundry bag and wash separately from light-colored items, though this cannot guarantee the garment will remain undamaged! 2. This is a vintage item. Vintage pieces naturally show signs of wear and may have minor issues such as loose threads, small stains, or tiny holes (any significant flaws will be noted in the description). Provided these do not detract from the overall appearance, they are considered within an acceptable range. Those who are particularly meticulous are advised not to place an order!
