Step into romantic bohemian elegance with this vintage 1970s Candi Jones California prairie dress. Crafted from a lightweight polyester-cotton blend, this ethereal black maxi dress features a painterly floral print in soft jewel tones and sheer bishop sleeves that end in flared cuffs. Satin ribbon trim and delicate lace accentuate the empire waist and deep V neckline, which ties at the center front for a feminine, corset-inspired finish. A ruffled hem adds prairie charm, while a back waist tie ensures a flattering silhouette.
About the Brand: Candi Jones was a beloved American label known in the 1970s and early 1980s for its ultra-feminine, Victorian-inspired dresses. Often sold in boutiques and department stores across California, her designs embodied the “Gunne Sax” look with a youthful, prairie-meets-fairytale aesthetic that became iconic among boho and prom-goers alike.
Styling Tip: Pair this dress with suede boots and a shearling vest for a cozy fall look, or dress it up with platform heels and vintage silver jewelry for a dreamy garden party vibe. For cooler weather, layer it under a cropped leather jacket or duster coat.
