My new Rudi

[pastperfect2]

I must admit when I pulled this off a rack, I thought - that is one ugly dress. A 1970s maxi. Poly top, heavy wool knit skirt with appliques.

Then it started to grow on me.

Then I checked the label.

Rudi Gernreich for Harmon Knitwear.

Needless to say, I bought it.

My first Rudi.

You found yourself a hot collectors item.

I really like it-the simple lines paired with the wild flowers.
Easy to wear.

I did a little checking - Fall 1973 I do believe.

Hollis, I know what you mean, It's a "body" garment. Not fab on a hanger, But get it on a body- & Pow!
