1970s Colin Glascoe Stained Glass Print Shirt Dress

This dress is printed in a stained glass style mosaic of purple, green, yellow and white, with each panel framed in fine linework like leaded glass. A pointed collar sits open at the front placket and a patch pocket sits at the chest on one side. Mid-length sleeves finish in a turned cuff, and a self-fabric tie belt bejewelled with green faux crystals at the end of each cinches the dress gently at the waist. The dress falls in a straight line to just below the knee. That bold mosaic print, framed in linework, is a familiar marker of the psychedelic prints of the late 1960s and 1970s.
Love an easy, straight silhouette with definition through the tie belt? Wear this one with flat sandals and simple hoops for daytime ease, or add a blazer for something more directional.
