{"product_id":"1970s-afghan-style-dress","title":"1970s Afghan Style Patchwork Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA richly detailed vintage Afghan-style patchwork dress, likely European-made in the 1970s, inspired by traditional Afghan silhouettes and textile work. Pieces like this emerged during the era’s fascination with Central Asian craftsmanship, reinterpreted through boutique and small-scale production for the Western market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dress features a striking mix of jewel-toned panels in deep burgundy, olive green, and intricate printed patchwork, framed with decorative ribbon trim throughout. The bodice is crafted in a contrasting deep navy velvet, creating a beautiful textural interplay against the lighter cotton panels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCut in a classic empire silhouette, the fitted bodice falls into a softly gathered skirt, allowing for movement while maintaining structure through the upper body. The wide, flowing sleeves echo traditional forms, while the overall construction — including a back zip — points to European manufacture rather than an original Afghan garment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe combination of prints, textures, and colours gives this piece a tapestry-like quality — expressive, warm, and highly wearable. A standout piece that captures the spirit of 1970s bohemian dressing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery good vintage condition.
