Scarlet wool gabardine mini dress, Spring 1966 for the 'Couture Future' collection.
This pinafore is typical of the simple, triangular shape of many mini dresses. It is made from thick fabric and the seams emphasise how the dress is cut symmetrically. Decoration is minimal with two pocket flaps at the front and a belt attached at the centre back by two buttons.
Worn by Mrs. Stavros Niarchos and given by Mr. Stavros Niarchos, Cecil Beaton Collection
