Houndstooth Dress

Sold in Khaki and Black in Fall and Holiday 1987 with some striking exaggerated artwork.

From the catalogue: “Easygoing yet elegant, this is a dress to be lived in, worked in, traveled in. The luxuriously soft flannel is consoling company during late-night layovers or bracing breakfast meetings. The top is pure shirt, the skirt long, bias-cut, graceful. A one-piece wardrobe in two neutral checks, so you can personalize and layer according to taste and temperature: add a Yukon shirt under, a vest over, belt and boots at will. Comfortably flattering and cosmopolitan to the core.”

September 2020 Etsy sale.
