1990s Multicolor Striped Maxi Dress with Integrated Floral Bolero- Art to Wear

Vintage early 1990s art-to-wear button-down maxi dress. A bold, one-of-a-kind statement defined by its construction: a vertically striped dress paired with an integrated, color-harmonized floral bolero. The dress features uneven vertical stripes that — except for the white — are not solid colors. Each stripe is a painterly mix of harmonized hues, including fuchsia with red, yellow with orange, royal blue with black, forest and kelly green, multiple olive tones, and latte with espresso brown. The result has depth and movement rather than flat color. Hues vary with light; outdoor photos show colors most accurately. The bolero features a tropical floral print using the same palette and ties at the front with an adjustable knot. It can be worn loose or cinched, adding visual dimension and versatility. Fabric is a rayon-type woven with a soft, fluid drape and matte finish (fiber content not specified on label). The dress is fully lined throughout the body, giving more body and light structure. Finished with beige iridescent front buttons reminiscent of mother-of-pearl, padded shoulders typical of the era, and a full maxi length. A distinctive vintage piece that consistently draws compliments.
