Label: Missoni For Bloomingdale’s Made in Italy. Missoni was founded in 1953 by husband and wife Ottavio and Rosita Missoni. They introduced the zigzag flame striped knit pattern that they are now associated with during the early 60s.

Waist: 22”, unstretched, up to 29” fully stretched

Hips: 36” with normal stretch and overlap

Condition:

It is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, soiling or odors - there is the odd small pull, but these are quite minor. In addition, there is some very slight soiling to the labels. Otherwise, this dress looks to have seen little use and was well kept over the years. Please note that the dress has not been dry cleaned, but is acceptable to wear as is.

This is a wonderful dress - excellent Missoni quality, classic striping, sure to be recognized and acknowledged.
