1960s Richard Blauner’s Boutique Red Apple Print Maxi-Dress
This playful and vibrant maxi-dress was made for Richard Blauner’s Boutique in the late 1960s and it is so well made. Tailored to a classic empire silhouette that falls to the ankle, the fabric is stunning, a thick cream cotton intarsia-woven with bright lipstick-red apples. The top is sleeveless with a high, rounded neckline and it is fitted around the bust. The waist is nipped-in and adorned with a coordinating belt, christened with a large flat bow at the front. Below this, the dress is shaped as an empire-line cut with soft pleating under the bust that adds structure to the full skirt. This pretty dress is lined with cream muslin and is secured with a hidden zip along the back.
This dress is in truly excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note and the fabric retains all of its lustre. It has no composition or size label so please check the measurements below as the fabric has no stretch. We believe that this dress would best fit a UK size 8-10 or US 4-6 with plenty of room in the hip.

F.A.Q.
Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance.
We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.
We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.
You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?
Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?
