Unlabeled Biba purple, black and lurex gold striped jersey fine knit dress, from the early 1970s. Slinky curve hugging silhouette in a soft bias-cut with a faux wrap-over bodice, gathered to one side, and deep plunge neck. Strong puffed shoulders with padding and slim long sleeve. Fitted waistband and gently flared midi skirt with a generous a-line fit. Back nylon zip to fasten.
Original Biba, but sadly no longer has the label, however I've included an indentical, albeit a different colourway, labeled confirmed Biba dress that sold at auction. (https://www.kerrytaylorauctions.com/auction/lot/144-a-biba-black-and-gold-striped-lurex-dress/?lot=8935&sd=1)
