Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and 1970s Katie by Laura Phillips black lace maxi dress with integrated cape frill
This striking piece from the sought-after 1970s Katie by Laura Phillips label exemplifies the romantic yet dramatic spirit of the decade. Constructed in a sheer black floral lace layered over a full lining, the dress is designed with an integrated cape that drapes over the shoulders and upper bodice, finished with a soft frilled edge for fluid movement. The maxi length elongates the silhouette, while the cape detail gives the garment a distinctive sculptural quality. A back zip closure ensures a smooth fit, and the garment remains in immaculate condition.
Katie by Laura Phillips was a celebrated British label in the 1970s, recognised for feminine, flowing silhouettes and bohemian-inspired designs often incorporating lace, chiffon, and floaty layers. The line was particularly popular among women seeking romantic and expressive garments, and pieces from the collection have become increasingly collectible for their timeless elegance and historical significance in the era’s fashion landscape.
