Vintage 70's Psychedelic Print Halter Top Hot Pants Skirt Set M

Description

A fab hard-to-find vintage 1970s halter top, hot pants (shorts), and maxi skirt set by Estivo, with a wild psychedelic black and white print!

Groovy, baby.

I have no idea who Estivo is, and that isn't important. This is what's known in the trade as a 'survival piece.' That is, they're sought after and important because so few of them survived in the passage of time. Hot pants sets were hot and trendy in the early 1970s, but mysteriously, in all of these years of vintage-hunting I've come across ... er, none. Until now.

I love the graphic psychedelic print, with its swirls, diamonds with Xs in them, and thingies that look like a cross section of a kiwi fruit, but with scalloped edges. Hey, it was the 70s, what can I say? (Acid trip, anyone?)

The complete set consists of an adorably sexy cropped midriff halter top that fastens behind the neck with a fabric-covered button. The hot pants are short shorts with a covered elastic waist. The maxi skirt has two snaps at the waist, then a short open area (so as you can get in it), and a sexy curved slit on the front.

This is a real head-turner, perfect for a pool party, just looking hip and groovy (and different) zipping around town, or a night out at the clubs.
