THE TURQUOISE CROCHET

As featured in the Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair, London

This beautiful original 1970s Mexican lace dress is a true rarity. In the most breathtaking shade of turquoise, cotton panels are tiered with hand crocheted panelling and elegant angel flared sleeves. 
Hours of craftsmanship went into this treasure and she’s ready to be enjoyed again, perhaps a turquoise blue sea backdrop of a holiday would be a fitting setting for her.

Care: As this is made from pure cotton which can be subject to shrinkage on high temperatures and has delicate crochet a cool hand wash is recommended, dry clean, steam clean also. Please take these guidelines as suggestions, no responsibility taken for cleaning/care errors. 

Condition: Great condition, a small couple of light discolourations on the front of the dress which is noticeable only upon *very* close inspection. So faint that it cannot be photographed.

Please note that all of the dresses are genuine 1970s or older vintage and can be 50 years old and more, so as much as I will do my utmost to describe flaws, please allow for human error and expect a pre loved, cherished piece of history with signs of wear.
