It is after all almost 100 years old

Love how each button is covered so that it has a flower showing

Because this piece completely opens you can wear it as a dress or double its use as a layering piece over something else

This is all eighties and for the right girl will be a strong and amazing statement gown

The top of this amazing 100% linen set is clearly marked on the tag with the date 11/26/73 giving us an exact date of production

1960s Rare Philippe Venet Green Coat & Belt designer-hanae-mori It is after all almostThis is an excellent and rare example of Philippe Venet work. A fine wool is woven into a subtle herringbone pattern in a soft green. I love the princess cut full skirt and how the sleeves each have a slight pouf above the deep cuffs. Front flap pockets and high neck mix in a slight military feel. Retains its original suede belt that is numbered on the back suggesting a custom or special order. Venet worked under both Elsa Schiaparelli and Givenchy
