Kate Beaver 70s vintage turquoise cotton gauze maxi dress / hippy / 60s / arts & crafts

Stunning 1970s turquoise & lilac maxi by Kate Beaver! 

This is the third in a small collection of three gorgeous arts & crafts inspired pieces by Kate Beaver of Dorset. 

This is my favorite of the three lovely pieces by Kate Beaver...I love the lightness of it combined with the subtle but still super psychedelic hand printed lilac patterns...

The dress features large dagger collars, gathered shoulders, smocking at the front and extra length to make it more striking...

Team this with platform leather shoes and some long beads...

About the designer....

<<<After leaving art school in 1957, Kate Beaver took inspiration from Aubrey Beardsley (an English illustrator and author) and began appliquéing dresses with Art Nouveau designs. The process was so time-consuming that she soon moved to block-printing. Kate and her artist partner, Robin Rae, worked from their home in Dorset, running a dressmaking and screen-printing business throughout the Seventies. Her designs were always period inspired.>>>
