The sun has been shining all week, so now is definitely the time to talk about 1970s dresses.  The bottom line is that EVERY girl can wear a dress from the 70s.  They are just soooo easy to wear, quite simply because vintage 1970s styles were cut for comfort and functional fit.  The arrival of a mass-produced, ready-to-wear fashion market in the 70s, and the popularity of sewing patterns (to create affordable versions of the dress trends at home) has meant that there’s a huge abundance of them on the market today, so finding a cute 70s dress in your style and size is so easy.  There are many different style options, but when the sun shines, I particularly love vintage Indian cotton boho kaftan styles, so today I shall salute them! They cover you up, but are so light and loose, perfect for hot sticky weather.  Effortlessly cool, these laid back bohemian beauties can just be thrown on, (you don't even have to iron them!!) and if you wish, when wearing one, please feel free to dance through corn fields (or any type of field for that matter!) with a flower in your hair!
 






We have had lots of Indian cotton dresses, kaftans and tunics for sale over the last few weeks...



The three beauties above sold this week, but we have more on the way so if you want to bag one, do keep an eye on the website www.beyondthevintage.com  Have a lovely week, Im off to find a field.....

big love
