70s Barbara Keyhole Dress - Black
Our new 1970s 'Barbara' dress is inspired by the iconic brand BIBA which grew in popularity during the '60s to its peak in the '70s.
Styles in the 1970s drew much influence from earlier decades - this is a simply gorgeous dress with a touch of edwardian and 1930s style. We love the raised collar and deep plunge keyhole neckline.
The silhouette is super flattering. Nipped in at the waist with gathers under the bustline and a deep keyhole neckline with mandarin collar. Four panel swing skirt. Long sleeves with gathers into the sleeve head. Button fastening below the bow and on the collar - but we have added a back zip too for ease.
Key Features Include:-
- deep keyhole neckline
- mandarin collar with button fastening
- button fastening on bodice
- long sleeves with gathers in sleeve head
- swing skirt
- back zip
Made in Yorkshire, England

Absolutely beautiful blouse!! I got so many comments when wearing it - the fabric print is divine and it fits beautifully!
I already own this beautiful dress in the Black version and simply adore it. This one in the Delic print was no exception, in fact, this one is probably my new favourite. It fits like a dream and the compliments that I kept receiving, were endless. I paired it with some Joanie Montpellier, 70s style platforms. Because the print has so many beautiful colours in it, this could be paired with quite a few different coloured accessories. The only thing I would point out, and it’s certainly not a negative, is that the material in the Delic print, seems to have so much more stretch in it, than the Black Barbara one that I own, I actually looked at the material content, but it does state that both styles are exactly the same. If you are big busted and have to wear a bra, it will need to be a plunge one, otherwise, it would show.
Overall, this is, as, mentioned, my new favourite, it really is stunning.
This top is really beautiful and looks truly vintage. My only concern is with the sizing: I ordered a size 8, although I'm theoretically a size 10 according to your chart, and it's way too big! The previous keyhole tops I ordered in a size 8, a few years ago, were much smaller and fitted me better. What's going on with the sizing? Didi it change? Please give more accurate measurments per garment for those who order from Europe and pay a lot in tax fees and can't really return the clothes (too expensive)...
The moment I saw this dress, I knew I had to have it and when it was delivered, it was everything and more, that I’d hoped for.
I’ve worn it a good few times and have had so many comments. It’s so classy but has a hint of ‘sexy’ thrown in, just for good measure. It’s sophisticated and looks absolutely stunning. What I will say, is that these dresses seem to be cut from vintage patterns, which equals, vintage sizing, so if you’re very busty, like me, you may need to size up, even maybe a few sizes.
The House Of Foxy, please bring it out in more block colours, I’d happily add to my collection if you did!!.
