A line, wool jersey Women's dress from the 1960s

1962-1965

This "A" line, wool jersey woman's dress (of about knee length) has a black and white herringbone pattern with large black and white flowers applied. The short sleeves are cut in one with the dress. The high, round neck is closed by a back zipper. There is a 7" slit in the left side hem. The sleeve, neck and bust are piped with red and orange to suggest the traditional Chinese side fastening dress. Label: "Dry Clean Only, 100% Wool, Rudi Gernreich design for Harmon knit wear."
