Vintage 1970s Colour Block Maxi Dress Donaldi Montreal Ribbed Knit Bold Stripe Medium

This vintage 1970s maxi dress by Donaldi Fashions of Montreal features a bold colour block design with a fitted ribbed bodice and a flowing skirt. The upper portion is rendered in a bright yellow ribbed knit, while the skirt contrasts in deep navy with diagonal bands of red and yellow, creating a strong graphic look typical of the era.

The bodice is fitted with natural stretch from the ribbed knit construction, and features long sleeves and a rounded neckline with dark trim. The skirt falls in a gentle A-line from the waist, giving movement and balance to the more fitted upper portion.

The fabric appears to be a synthetic knit, likely acrylic or a similar fibre, consistent with 1970s ready-to-wear garments.
