Beautiful vintage handmade pinstripe dress with a wonderfully tailored, slightly dramatic silhouette. Made in a black fabric with fine white pinstripes, this piece has the look of classic menswear translated into a very feminine dress.
The standout detail is the ruffled high neckline, which gives it a romantic Victorian-inspired edge, balanced by softly gathered shoulders, long sleeves and buttoned cuffs. The waist is gently defined before falling into a full midi-length skirt with lovely movement.
A back zipper is cleverly worked into the neckline and bodice, allowing the collar to be worn fully closed for a prim, polished look.

One-of-a-kind vintage construction It has that rare combination of Victorian, menswear, dark academia and 1980s power dressing all at once.
I could see this styled with tall black boots, a fitted leather jacket, loafers, or even a wide belt for a completely different silhouette.
