Rare Vintage Diane Freis Rainbow Stripe Ruffle Dress — 1980s

A vibrant collector’s piece from the iconic Diane Freis, this vintage dress is a joyful celebration of colour, movement, and unmistakable 1980s glamour. Crafted in Freis’ signature crinkle-textured polyester georgette, the dress features a bold mix of vertical and wavy rainbow stripes, framed by layers of playful ruffles at the neckline, cuffs, and hem.

The capelet-style yoke and keyhole neckline add drama and dimension, while the shirred waistband provides a flattering yet comfortable fit. Like all true Freis designs, it’s non-crushable, easy to pack, and made to move beautifully — a perfect travel companion for those who like their style expressive and elegant.

Dresses in this palette and condition are becoming increasingly hard to find, making this a rare opportunity to own a piece of fashion history that still turns heads today.
