This is a vintage 1966 Marimekko for Design Research dress in their infamous Keidas (oasis) pattern designed by Annika Rimala. It is in the harder to find orange, white and blue-black colorway. The dress is not in perfect condition. It belonged to an artist who used to wear Marimekko when created her masterpieces and it does have paint splatter here and there, most noticeably on the right sleeve. Sold AS-IS -- this dress would be almost three times the price if it were in better condition. I have not tried to remove the paint and I really don't know if it even can be removed. See the second last photo where I have tried to point out the areas where there is paint.

Please note the BIG white dots are not paint - they are part of the pattern. The dress itself has no holes or tears. The Design Research tag is tattered but still intact. The front zipper will zip up but skips teeth most of the time so should be replaced.

It is tagged a size 12 and would best fit a large but will accommodate many because of its loose, oversized cut. Please check the following measurements:

Armpit to armpit: 22", Shoulders: 20", Length from top of shoulder to bottom: 39"
