An amazing, sculptural piece from Geoffrey Beene in the most amazing starched linen fabric with bold white top stitching! It has a definite mod chicness to it! The bodice is dipped deep in the front and it zips to close - an unusual touch. The skirt flares out in an A-line and has a gorgeous rounded front detailing - a signature touch from Beene. I love the rounded collar and how bold it is. This picks up that round front of the skirt and the big round ends of the tie bring all these elements together perfectly! . Little top stitched pockets sit just above each hip. Really a killer piece. Note that the color is a little softer brown in person with a more "textured" feel that the linen gives the fabric - the close up of the belt is closest color wise. Excellent, appears to never have been worn condition.
