Deadstock Vintage 1970s Maxi Dress by Algo Blue Polyester Jersey
This vintage 1970s maxi dress by Algo is a lovely example of Canadian-made fashion and comes in excellent condition with its original hang tag still attached. Made from slightly sheer 100% polyester jersey, the fabric has soft stretch and fluid drape typical of 1970s evening and occasion dresses.
The dress features a draped cowl neckline in the front and a weighted draped cowl back that creates an elegant flowing silhouette. The sleeveless bodice is fitted at the waist with an elasticized waist and narrow tie belt. The belt features a small fabric flower attached with a pin, allowing it to be repositioned or removed if desired. The skirt falls in long, fluid folds to the hem, creating a classic 1970s maxi silhouette designed to move gracefully when worn.
The Canadian ILGWU union label is present, which was used between 1968 and 1984, confirming the dress was made during this period.
This is a beautiful and wearable example of a 1970s draped maxi dress and is particularly special in well-kept deadstock condition with original tags.
