1970s Wings Rainbow Lurex Dress

970s Wings Cotton Gauze Dress with Rainbow Lurex

A radiant piece from the cult 1970s label Wings, renowned among collectors for its free-spirited designs and dreamy fabrics. This dress is crafted from airy cotton gauze, interwoven with rainbow lurex threads that shimmer with every movement—capturing the era’s love for colour, texture, and a touch of glamour.

Adding to its unique character is a quilted paisley-printed yoke, a detail that anchors the lightness of the gauze with structure and rich patterning. The dress is fully lined, allowing the rainbow lurex and gauze to shine while ensuring wearability and comfort.

Wings was part of the wave of boutique labels that defined bohemian dressing in the late 60s and 70s, worn by those who embraced a liberated, artistic lifestyle. Today, the brand’s dresses are sought after for their rarity and distinctive use of gauzy fabrics, metallic accents, and effortless silhouettes.

This example is a quintessential Wings piece: light, playful, and dazzling, with rainbow lurex adding a joyful dimension to the soft cotton.
