Stunning vintage 1970s Vuokko gown of viscose velvet, black with tiny white diamonds embroidered onto it in an allover pattern; the most remarkable part of the style is the huge balloon sleeves that can be worn a number of ways. The neckline is absolutely voluminous, gathered to the nth degree which makes the sleeves super voluminous too... It is a tent style-quasi-Victorian- 1930s style gown!
The vintage Vuokko dress has a self-belt for even more versatility. Simply gorgeous and one of the rarest styles by Vuokko. Its marked small but due to the measurements will fit larger sizes.
Vuokko Nurmesniemi was a principal designer for Marimekko and known for bold color and shape combinations, whimsical looks.
