A fun and feminine Diane Freis dress from the early 1980s, features a ruffle-trimmed, V neck surplice neckline and a 2-tiered peplum skirt. The semi-sheer, lightweight fabric is the designer’s preferred polyester georgette. It mixes 3 prints, both with a subtle striped weave. One print is a stripe and dot mix, one has a leaf shaped pattern and one is floral. The majority of the dress uses a large-scale print of tropical flowers. Featured a double-ruffled sailor collar and a wide shirred elastic waist panel. The long puffed sleeves have elastic cuffs. This sleeve elastic is somewhat over-stretched form age/use, but quite wearable as it is. The elastic in the waist shirring is also quite stretched with some loose threads. Other than Diane Freis’s signature beaded and tasseled neck ties, the dress has no fastenings, designed to pull on over the head. In very good vintage condition, other than the loose elastic and threads.
