This whimsical shift dress from Anna Sui is reminiscent 1960s "sack" dresses, but with a lot more going on! The dress itself is simply a beige nylon mesh onto which all the decorative trims are applied. A variety of green fringes are attached to the front and back of the dress, each of which is accented with rows of tiny gold circles. The sides of the dress are a contrasting modernist design of squares outlined in little black circles and filled with green fringe. The bateau neckline is trimmed with alternating dark and light teal flowers outlined in gold cord. The same floral trim runs down each side of the front of the dress and accentuates the transition between the two patterns. The dress is sleeveless, is fully lined in beige fabric, and closure is with a back zipper. The mesh is labeled 100% nylon, and the lining is labeled polyester. The fringes are not labeled but are probably a synthetic blend. Labeled US size 12. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size and compare with a similar garment that fits you.*  History Note: Sack dresses originated during the Great Depression when, out of necessity, rural women made simple dresses with more-or-less straight sides out of feed and flour sacks. The look was appropriated by Balenciaga in the late 1950s and sack dresses became a fad in the 1960s. Over time, the name of the sack dress morphed into the shift dress.  MEASUREMENTS - Underarm chest measurement is 41" - Waist is 38 " - Hips are 40" at about 8" below waist. - Length is 35" down center back including bottom fringe.
