Really wild and showstopping piece

A version of this dress in a different colourway was photoed for Vogue in 1972

I have dated it to the mid seventies - you can see a photo of a very pregnant Vicky with Woody Allen in a dress with a similar fabric

It is beautiful and wearable and a great piece of fashion history and testament to his genius

They are each a full 58" in length and trail down the sides

1970s La Mendola Beautifully Printed Silk Jersey Dress designer-mary-mcfadden Really wild and showstopping pieceThe La Mendola label is highly collectible and sought after when the duo behind the label where designing in Rome it was girls like Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth that were buying and even wait listing for pieces as they were produced. The Italian based shop closed in 1974 giving us a date for this prior to that. The silk jersey used to make this dress is the best possible grade so feels amazing on. The design is beautifully vibrant and bright
