Dries van Noten Two Tone Silk Shift

FROM BETTE DAVIS'S CLOSET

A very lovely Dries dress in featherweight smooth silk of two colorways, not pieced together but printed in one piece. At the hem and the top of the bodice is a band of plain ivory silk, ruched at the shoulder. The body is a smudged botanical print in lime, ocher and tan on deepest indigo. It's a loose fitting size 40. 

Measurements: Bust 42", hip 42", Shoulder 13" (to outside of shoulder straps), length 38"

STORY: I love Dries, and got this in his Antwerp store, thinking I'd wear it all the time. Wrong. I never wore it once.
