A timeless piece of luxury vintage fashion! This authentic late 1980s midi dress was crafted by the iconic American fashion house St. John Knits and designed by Marie Gray. Made in the USA, this dress is constructed from their signature, high-end Santana knit—a tight, premium wool-rayon blend that drapes beautifully and resists wrinkling. The dress features a sophisticated black bodice accented by era-defining structured, lightly puffed shoulders and long sleeves. The mid-section down to the skirt features a bold, graphic geometric color-blocked chevron design in vibrant crimson red and deep black that transitions into striking vertical knit columns. A pull-on design that brings effortless, vintage elegance to any wardrobe.
