The Claire McCardell Dress has a timeless shape designed to have a modern attitude and movement. Its namesake is credited with inventing American sportswear in the ‘40s and ‘50s when her elegant and practical clothes revolutionized the way women dressed. Our dress is crafted from delicate floral lace with a subtle stripe. The cotton eyelet is gently pleated from shoulder to hem, with a waist defined by precise pin tucks and hook-and-eye closures, a signature McCardell detail. Side pockets add utility and a voluminous mid-length hem balances proportion. Both versatile and glamorous, it is intended for every woman to make her own.
