Sirena of California 70s vintage slip dress.


Sirena of California 70s slip which was turned into a mini dress. This dress was full length but I turned it into a mini and used the left over material to create a fringy trim on the bottom hem.

I think this dress is very akin to a Matthew Williamson style of print he would design...check out his line for H&M!

Built in bra that snaps in the back. I am a 36B (bordering on C) and there is room for a 36C.

Dress has an attached skinny tie that you is attached from the V Neck and wraps around the bust and waist. There is plenty of room in this dress so you can tie it to your frame.

This dress is available now at my Etsy store, Vintage Stew for $28.00.

Vintage 70s flapper style career dress in black. Mexican floral style embroidered front panels with pleated hem. Love to know if there is another!


Vintage 70s career dress in black. Really one of the most unique dresses I have seen in a long time. Mexican floral style embroidery embellishes two front panels.

Bottom of the dress has 7” pleated hem. Short sleeve dress has metal zipper up the back. I believe this dress was made at home, if it wasn't I'd sure like someone to tell me which company made this dress. It is a beauty! This dress is available now at my Etsy store Vintage Stew for $30 plus shipping.

Perfect career dress for sure!
