I love when I have this dress in the shop. It is one of those perfect, pretty, easy summer dresses that you can wear to just about any event and it easily goes from day to evening. It is utterly gorgeous and has all the hallmarks of the best of what Hanae Mori could do. The colors are stunning and the palette she used for it are vibrant and bright. The soft backdrop print is a brilliant mint green that has touches of blue in it and this has been screened onto a soft, polished cotton feeling fabric. Onto that pretty backdrop are a design that has huge exotic birds flying over its surface. These bold and beautiful birds fly across the dress in an array of bright pinks and corals and they seem about to fly off the green backdrop. It is cut in an easy to wear caftan style with an elastic through the waist. If you wished you could add a belt to cinch it in for more shape or just wear it loose and easy. The bodice is full and easy and the skirt widens as it nears the hem. Hidden front pockets are hidden along the front seaming detail that runs down the dress. The neckline is cut into a V and the sleeves are wide with no seams at the arms to break the lines of the print. I love the curve of the sleeves to give them a bit of a caped feel. I actually own one of these myself and wear it endlessly. An absolutely wonderful piece. Excellent condition.
