Our silk Claire McCardell dress has a timeless shape designed to have a modern attitude and movement.Its namesake is credited with inventing American sportswear in the '40s and '50s when her elegant and practical clothes revolutionized the way women dressed.It is crafted in a graphic collage of windowpane checks and topstitching.Silk is gently pleated from shoulder to hips,with a waist defined by precise pintucks and hook-and-eye closures,a signature McCardell detail.Side pockets add utility and a voluminous mid-length hem balances proportion.Both versatile and glamorous,it is intended for every woman to make her own.
