1980s Vivienne Marlowe New York Navy Embroidered Cotton Statement Dress — Size 14

A beautifully constructed vintage dress by Vivienne Marlowe New York, made in the USA. Cut from 100% cotton with a 100% cotton lining, this substantial navy dress features an allover ivory diamond-lattice embroidered pattern.
The silhouette features a fitted elongated bodice, defined waist, dramatic gathered shoulders, long sleeves with wide cuffs, and a wonderfully full skirt. The heavier cotton construction gives the dress beautiful structure and an almost quilted feel. Finished with a round neckline and center-back zipper.

Curator’s Note
The weight is what gets you first. This isn't a delicate little cotton dress—it has presence. The embroidered lattice, sculpted shoulders and beautifully full skirt give it that unmistakable vintage drama, but the navy keeps everything sophisticated. Add a black boot and a great bag. She's already done the rest.
