Hanae Mori Knit Dress

This late 1960's wool knit dress from famed Japanese designer Hanae Mori definitely has its style elements in the Far East. The deep V shaped neckline echoes the lines of a kimono, and the generously cut sleeves are clearly inspired by this same Japanese garment.

The neckline is outlined in red and green bands, these also border the wide decorative bands on the sleeves, showing off the flowers on a beige knit background. The waistline is narrow and worked in a ribbed knit for a close fit, echoing the look of an obi. The narrow A-line skirt also has a wide band of flowers accented by red and green bands. The dress slips on over your head and it is made from a very fine and soft wool knit. It is marked a size Medium but please check the measurements for accuracy.
