1980s Marimekko Button-Front Made in Finland Patterned Duster Dress

1980s Marimekko Button-Front Made in Finland Patterned Duster DressI pretty much love everything about this piece. It's super versatile and can be worn as a dress or a duster. It's 100% cotton and probably one of my favourite Marimekko patterns I've come across yet. Love this palette for Fall. It is in overall great vintage condition, but it is imperfect. There are a few dye inconsistencies in the fabric as show in last few photos. They aren't terribly noticeable right off the bat because of the all overall print and

I pretty much love everything about this piece. It's super versatile and can be worn as a dress or a duster. It's 100% cotton and probably one of my favourite Marimekko patterns I've come across yet. Love this palette for Fall. It is in overall great vintage condition, but it is imperfect. There are a few dye inconsistencies in the fabric as show in last few photos. They aren't terribly noticeable right off the bat because of the all overall print and colour, which helps to distract the eye, but they are there. This is reflected in the price.

It is listed as a size 36 or 8. I'm guessing that's in Euro. I would call this a Small / Medium by US standards. There is quite a bit of room for interpretation because of the overall shape and loose fit. On me the shoulder seam falls below my shoulder line more like a drop shoulder or kimono cut. This is totally acceptable with this style. As usual please refer to the below measurements for most accurate fit.
