I need identifying a style of dress

[LousyLoversVintage]

Homemade 70s dress here to my best of knowledge from seams fabric and zipper age. I had another dress from the 70s in the same shape and seamwork. The large square sleeves and a large circular seam on each side of the waist line. This dress just has a crazy asymmetrical hem. Its driving me nuts that i dont know the name kf the construction of this dress and even the one i had previously . This one even has a band that goes across the bust internally...thank you!

I would call that a handkerchief hem. Sleeves too. Let's see if others have alternative terms.

It’s got a little bit of that late 70s Gunne Sax vibe.

It looks like this pattern, doesn't it? This is from a previously sold item on Etsy.

I agree with Maggie's description of handkerchief hem and sleeves.

Wow, it looks almost exactly like the one on the far right. Good sleuthing!

Not an expert, but I'd call it Handkerchief hem.

Agree with all above re handkerchief. If I had to describe it I'd definitely use that term.
