Vintage 70s QIANA Shantung Dagger Collar Button Front Midi Shirt Dress, Sz. 6/8

This vivid green shantung showpiece is a true 70s beauty of a shift dress & has been kept in beautiful condition (all buttons intact, including double button cuffs, belt still present, no sign of wear or flaws apart from the odd loose thread)! Made of Qiana fabric, rare to find since it fell out of fashion by the 80s. Introduced in 1968, Qiana provided the luxurious look and feel of silk, including its luster, drape, and lightness but was designed to be wrinkle-resistant & machine-washable. "Christian Dior & other leading designers titillated the fashion world in the late 1960s with elegant, silk-like costumes made from a synthetic material called Qiana." Gorgeous & luminous, this button front shift dress with its dagger collar & large cloth covered buttons looks lovely both with & without the belt, & is a great transitional piece, ideal for day to night! -Radiant apple green Qiana shantung fabric -100% Polyamide, Viscose Lining -Long sleeves -Darts at bust -Button placket 2/3 of the way down front -Detachable Qiana fabric belt w/silver tone metal buckle -Cloth covered buttons -Fold over double button cuffs -Fully lined in Kelly green satin -Hits below the knee -Shift dress silhouette -Purchased in Netherlands, likely German made -Excellent vintage condition, no flaws to note -Marked size 42, fits like modern 6/8, measurements below -Last 3 pics in natural light Measurements (ON THE HALF): Shoulders: 15.5 in.
