Edie Sedgwick Novelty Print Dress Andy Warhol Superstar by Peach Berserk Size M

This is a wonderful pre-owned dress that is silkscreened with a novelty print featuring images of Edie Sedgwick, famous as a model and actress used by Andy Warhol during the mid-1960s.  The dress was sold by Toronto boutique “Peach Berserk”, a local institution owned by Kingi Carpenter, who designs and prints her own fabrics and garments.  The store was located on Queen at Spadina but closed in 2012 - I believe that Carpenter still does custom orders however and also gives silkscreening workshops.  This dress probably is not technically vintage, but it is fabulous!  The print features various photo representations of Sedgwick, text that reads “Edie Sedgwick Superstar”, “Ciao Manhattan” and “Andy Warhol Superstar”, all in black against a bright pink background colour.  I believe that the fabric is silk.  The dress is lined and has a built-in slip that is trimmed with a few rows of black tulle, some of which is visible below the hemline.  It is sleeveless with spaghetti straps and has black tulle trimming the neckline with a black rosette positioned at the centre.  The back is low cut and the bodice is secured with straps at the back that cross and tie at the middle.
