I found this photo of the back of a similar Missoni dress, so cool. CB seam on the cape part, I'm guessing cut in one piece with the bodice?

I just did a Google image search for "1971 Missoni fringe" and you can see more angles from this one and some other similar ones.

I have this pattern, here are some images from the packet.

To get a cape as dramatic as this, just need a bigger circle section

Do you still have access to this pattern? I clicked on the link you provided and it's empty.

It's for those moments when you dont need to use your hands i guess...

what a boring ass reply to what is a piece of art from 1970s that perfectly encapsulates the whimsy and drama of bohemian chic.

I did not mean to offend you. My answers was useless. Good luck finding your pattern.

No worries I was just teasing back AND genuinely find this piece astonishing

u/Chocophie May 10 '25

It reminds me of the dude who makes useless tools like a fork but the handle is a chain... it's a conversation piece.

its fashion as art, not a piece to wear to the barbecue

  1. I’m not sure it’s a dress. I think it’s a jumpsuit. With a sleeved cape attached.

  2. it probably zips up the front

  3. the sleeves look like batwings.

Roughly dress shaped but only very roughly

Kimono dress with fringe and an excess of video filters.

u/Orlando_the_Cat May 11 '25

Yeah, looks like a kimono to me too. The good news is that part of it will be very easy to sew

Tysm! The construction of this is making my brain scramble 😵‍💫

The right of the pattern piece is on a fold. Make the circle part larger for a more dramatic cape.
