An authentic vintage piece from the 1960s, this ochre dress exemplifies the clean lines and balanced proportions of the Mod era. The sleeveless silhouette features striking black contrast trim at the neckline and hem, while the softly flared skirt creates an effortlessly elegant shape. The inclusion of its original belt — a rare detail — confirms authenticity and completes the design. Strong colour blocking that reads as sophisticated rather than costume-like.
How to Style?
Wear the belt cinched — it was made for this dress and it shows. Low-heeled black pumps or white Mary Janes, hair neatly set or in a clean fringe. The ochre and black trim is a complete palette — no jewellery needed, or a single thin gold bangle at most.
With flat sandals for a summer afternoon, it works just as well. The dress knows what it is.
