This iconic "Norman Norell" designer nautical-sailor dress in midweight linen exemplifies his signature blend of couture level quality with quintessentially American style-elegant in its simplicity. The bodice has an adorable detachable red-bow and sailor flap-collar. I love the hourglass belted waistline. Complete with side-pockets and beautiful pearl-covered buttons. As pointed out in the book "Couture: The Great Designers", Norell had a profound influence on the ready-to-wear industry and on younger American designers by insisting that off-the-rack clothing be as fine as made-to-order. The masterful design and superb quality of this garment more than meets his exacting standards.
