Description: A beautifully expressive vintage dress by Zandra Rhodes for Jack Mulqueen London, showcasing the designer’s signature use of bold print and fluid construction. Rendered in a soft palette of slate blue, lavender, and black, the abstract pattern combines graphic motifs with delicate dotted detailing—creating a layered, almost painterly effect. The dress features a softly draped cowl neckline framed by intricately smocked shoulders, adding texture and structure to the otherwise fluid silhouette. Voluminous long sleeves taper at the cuffs, while the waist is defined with a self-tie sash that cinches and creates a flattering, sculpted shape. A standout design element is the asymmetric peplum-like panel at the waist, adding movement and dimension, while the skirt falls in a gentle, body-skimming line. The back reveals a contrasting panel detail that enhances the garment’s architectural feel.

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage
