1980's Morton Myles White Linen 2 Piece Dress

Jackie Kennedy wore Morton Myles creations. They're classic! This is such a sweet and fresh looking dress! Originally made in the 80's, but still looks very modern today. It is just lovely! Flowers are strategically embroidered on the cap sleeved linen and eyelet top. The skirt is subtly voluminous without becoming unflattering. Perfect for a non traditional bride, bridesmaid, graduation dress or cocktail party. It would also be great for travel because you could easily mix and match it and create more outfits. Great for warm weather. Lightly lined. Tag reads: 'Morton Myles for the Warrens'. Hook and zipper back. Worn once.
