Behind the design

A magenta body, pale hem band and contrasting stripes at the sleeves turn this Quant dress into a concise composition of color. The museum dates the wool garment to 1966–67. Its short length and simple outline can be compared directly with her green buttoned dress recorded with the same date range.
