1970s Carrie Midi Dress - Rust
Steeped in the spirit of 1976, the Carrie dress captures that moment when bohemian softness met disco confidence. Think the dusky glamour of Biba and the fluid, feminine lines of Ossie Clark... where earthy romance and after-dark allure existed beautifully side by side.
Inspired by an original...that had been inspired by the 1930s! Made in a warm, rust tone (so right for the mid-70s palette), Carrie's flutter sleeves are the moment. They bring that free-spirited, folkloric movement... dramatic enough for the dancefloor, effortless enough for daytime wandering.
Layer a fine ribbed turtleneck beneath and it becomes earthy, intellectual, almost art-school bohemian for colder months. Add boots and a coat and it’s everyday elegance. Come spring and summer, wear it bare with platforms or sandals and let it move as it was meant to!
Bohemian. Earthy. Disco. But entirely wearable.
The mid 70s was a super stylish time - think Ossie Clarke, Biba etc. These designers were very inspired by the elegance of the 1930s and recreated the silhouette with modern fabrics and the '70s flair.
We just love the 70s take on the 30s - the shoulder yokes, high fitted waistband further nipped in by back tie, plunge neckline with gathers and double flutter sleeves. You really will feel like a princess in this beauty!
Midi length skirt and back zip make it such an easy wear too.
