This is a stunning piece of Dior. It's done in a shirtdress style, but we think it has another option as well, worn as a lightweight coat (or open over jeans and a white button-down). It is unlined. It was sold at Saks. Button down the front closure with an attached belt. Long sleeves. Gathers and falls beautifully throughout. Lovely, simply lovely classic design. A light, warm camel color, and extremely soft ultrasuede. Unsure of size, please see measurements below. You can turn up the cuffs or leave them down. Simply lovely condition, we only see one very tiny almost pinhole (but doesn't go all the way through) in the back, under the belt line (see last photo for close up). All measurements taken with coat buttoned closed.
The essence of Jean Muir's popularity is elegant simplicity, but her work is amongst the most complex in construction. It takes immense skill to make it look so easy! Stunning black rayon dress in an absolute signature Muir style. Simple, sophisticated and striking. Anyone who knows me or reads my blog will know that I'm a total sucker for anything ruffly. I'm also borderline obsessed with neck ruffs. This dress has a divine ruffle around the neckline, giving it a very Pierrot feel. These flashes of exuberance in amongst the unassuming silhouette are a Muir trademark, and part of why her fans remain so loyal to her!
