Dating to the early 1970s this dress was designed by Gina Fratini. Long dresses became the fashion for day and eveningwear, such was the nostalgia for historic styles at this time. This dress is a fantasy in silk, reminiscent of medieval dresses seen in the pre-Raphaelite paintings of the 19th century.
