Behind the design
This gray cotton dress translates the loose body, ribbed cuffs and easy feel of a sweatshirt into a complete fashion garment. Its shape connects with the documented movement of exercise clothing into everyday dress around 1980. The Met does not assign this object to a named runway collection.
