The top slips on and buttons at the neck

with one of the best fabrics and combinations of cut that I have yet to see

Note that the zipper pull is broken and just a stub of it remains - because the zipper is original to the dress I have chosen to leave it as found

1970s Jean Muir Dress w/ Flower Buttons designer-oscar-de-la-renta The top slips on andThis deep chocolate crepe dress by Jean Muir really for me showcases what I love best about her. The cut is simple yet dramatic and the fabric choice is fabulous. The color is a deep rich chocolate. All the interest is done through her signature top stitching and slanted and angular seaming that is so reminiscent of seaming done in the thirties. Love how each sleeve tapers at the cuff. Attached tie at the neck and the most fabulous floral buttons
