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 Originally
made in the 80's,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

the designer:

Guild website, 'Morton
Myles worked with
Herbert Sondheim
and Larry Aldrich
before starting
his own business
in the early 1960's.

of Look magazine
for a family photo
with President

Mrs. Kennedy had
purchased several
of his designs
while her husband

retirement in
1994. He now lives
in Scottsdale,
AZ.
