Norman Norell dress, circa 1957. From the collection of The Museum at FIT #Uniformity closes November 19th! http://exhibitions.fitnyc.edu/uniformity The “sailor suit” look of early women’s active attire became a recurring motif in fashionable, summer sportswear during the mid-20th century. For this dress, Norman Norell exaggerated the decorative and feminine qualities of the uniform by enlarging the necktie, forming it into a bow, and rendering it in a luxurious silk faille.
