I absolutely adore this dress. It is a classic blue and white stripe and is shockingly modern. The skirt is fairly full and flows out from an almost empire waist. The fabric used is a semi sheer cotton mix so it has this wonderful light airy feel but is not so on the cotton side as to feel like a casual piece. There is a band that circles the waist and then the front plunges in a deep V with wide billowy sleeves that have no side seams - they just flow out from that V into stunning puffed creations with a fitted 5.5" buttoned cuff. The back is equally as dramatic - it too plunges low and wide leaving an expanse of skin showing. A flower and bow sit at the base of the plunge in that classic feminine Beene touch. I was told that this was a runway piece and I would say that is not hard to see! Excellent condition.

Fully lined through the skirt in a semi sheer white organza. The bust is unlined but has two built in cups so you do not have to wear an undergarment. It close with a series of fabric covered buttons and a low back zipper. The flower on the front is original though it could be removed easily if you want a cleaner look.
