Jean Muir Studio 1980s Painterly Floral Belted Cotton Dress – UK 12

Step into the vivid artistry of the 1980s with this rare Jean Muir Studio day dress — a masterclass in colour, structure, and British design. Crafted in 100% cotton and made in England, the dress features a bold watercolour-style floral print in crimson, turquoise, chartreuse, and jet black — a painterly composition that moves with you.

Tailored with princess seaming through the bodice, this piece creates elegant structure without relying on darts. The silhouette is finished with short sleeves, oversized red buttons, and a dramatic matching belt with sculptural buckle to cinch the waist. The softly flared skirt falls below the knee for timeless femininity.

Labelled a UK 12 / US 10, this dress offers a true-to-size fit. Designed for wearability, but executed with the discipline and clarity of Muir’s couture line.

💡 I Bet You Didn’t Know…

Though Jean Muir Studio was a more accessible label, these pieces weren’t mass-produced. Many, like this one, were made in England in limited runs, with prints unique to the line. Muir’s belief in “quiet power” lives in every seam — note how the construction mirrors her couture philosophy: clean lines, abstract colour, and structure built into the fabric itself. It’s not just a dress. It’s wearable design history.
