1980s Teal and Burgundy Check Prairie Dress, by Vera Mont, 36in Bust

Just wow! This dress is awesome and that is all that is really needed! By Vera Mont in the early 1980s, it has everything you would want from a dress. Made in eye catching check in a fab teal and burgundy tones, the print is picked out with a wonderful light catching lurex yellow stripe. There is still the hint of prairie in this dress, with a touch of the Laura Ashley style coming through, two styles in one baby! The frills and bows are the perfect amount of excess, the puff sleeves adding even more drama, and needs to be worn with confidence to pull it off. Wear with simple boots or trainers, or if it isn't quite enough, go with metallic glittery boots to push this look over the edge into insane style territory!
