Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dress by Marimekko is salmon-colored with short sleeves. The top of the dress is gathered with ruffles on the cap sleeves and around the neckline. A thin belt encircles the natural waist. The A-line skirt has fullness created by pleats. A vine-like cream-colored embroidered design runs along the bottom of the skirt. The short sleeves are gathered into small puffs.
