1968-1969. Yellow pique dress with bands of black double-faced satin ribbon on the raised waistline and around the hem; high-waisted princess-line bodice with attached bib at neck front; bib extends over top of skirt and has six black buttons on either side of center front; rolled collar; short sleeves; mid-calf-length.
Background:

This dress was worn by the donor, the vice-president and fashion director at Neiman-Marcus at that time. Because of the way it is finished on the inside, this is a sample that would have come directly from the designer's showroom. Exhibited in Suiting Everyone: The Democratization of Clothing in America from 1974 to 1979.

Red Geoffrey Beene Dress

Göreme, Turkey, is the location of this fashion photograph, which appeared in the December 1, 1966, Vogue. Perched atop a treacherous cliff, a model sports a deep- red linen dress by Geoffrey Beene. With an A-line shape and criss-crossed bodice, this style is a classic example of the celebrated mid-sixties shift dress. Photographer Henry Clarke makes inspired use of the location, using the brightly-adorned model as a focal point in an otherwise monochrome, rocky landscape. In doing so he enlivens the atmosphere while making the fashion especially dramatic.
