Biba London royal blue velvet romantic style maxi dress. Every inch of this 1970's panne velvet gown represents the vision of Barbara Hulanicki the designer who democratized fashion with affordable, of-the-moment clothing, accessories, furnishings and make-up for a generation  that was breaking away from traditional British fashion. The Youthquake movement began with her and her department store became the anchor of the High St in London. Excellent vintage condition with no visible signs of wear. V-neck, velvet covered buttons up the front, sweeping Merlin style sleeve and a gentle gather from the bust to the hem and a self tie at the back. Fits like a US 4.
