MARY McFADDEN - Marii Pleated Cocktail Dress

A perfect dress for those evenings when you need to be elegant but just want to be comfortable. This sensually vintage Mary McFadden pleated cocktail dress from the early 1970s is the best choice when you need both on the same evening. It is like wearing an old favorite and at the same time retains its shape regardless of what you put it through. It is also a great go to dress for traveling as it can be rolled up and stashed in a duffel for a week and yet be taken out and be as fresh as it was when you first packed it. Who isn't looking for such a perfect traveling companion?

American - Circa.1970s.

Bold and beautiful with a whisper of historic reference is a great way to describe the work of Mary McFadden. Her couture is always executed with the hand of an artist, here her silk gazar fabrication is hand painted to reflect the color and symbols of India yet cut in a style reminiscent of 19th Century England.

Frockology Care Tip:
When dealing with anything that is hand painted always have your dry cleaner do a test with their cleaning chemicals on a seam area first to see if it will cause any type of chemical breakdown. It is only good to wear modern art when you planned it.
