Unusual 1970s vintage Tanaka Tokyo black, white and red floral printed soft jersey-like fabric cowl neck midi dress with red and black sheer chiffon sash belt. Lightweight fabric with some stretch, the bodice is self-lined, the sleeves are fitted and run a bit short and is probably best for a petite frame. The waistline may have had stretchy elastic in it but it is no longer stretchy and just has a gently gathered look. There is a back zipper closure, side slits and small shoulder pads that can be easily clipped off if you so prefer. The brand tag has a few rust spots on it and the teeth of the zipper is a bit "sticky" when opening. The teeth are very small and I think they have just become stubborn with age. There are no breaks or skips,, you just have to put some pressure on it when unzipping or zipping up. No other issues on this sleek and chic beauty, makes for an easy transition from day to night which is always a big plus.

KCO Vintage is based in Anacortes, WA, USA. I have been a vintage seller since 2012, offering a highly curated, limited collection of vintage clothing and footwear online and in person by appointment only. I have only one of each piece and our photographs show the exact item you will receive.
Visit www.kcovintage.com for additional photos, special features and more.
Invest in vintage for long lasting, high quality, timeless fashion you can love for a lifetime. Wearing vintage reduces reliance on the destructive fast-fashion industry where worker and human rights are exploited, air and water is heavily polluted, and environments are forever altered by modern clothing manufacturing processes. Purchasing from small, American based businesses does good for individual people, the planet and our future!
When you shop from my store you can trust I am dedicated to providing exceptional customer service from beginning to end. My passion is art, fashion, and pursuing both in an environmentally conscientious way. The KCO aesthetic expresses individuality, creativity, often makes a statement and always promotes self confidence...
Please send me a message if I can be of further assistance and thank you so much for visiting KCO VINTAGE!
