True to its name, the Marimekko Tiimalasi (Hourglass) White/Black Dress artfully paints a shapely silhouette onto its wearer. Maija Isola's 1982 Kalasääski stripes change direction in all the right spots; defining the waist, accentuating the bust and hips and elongating the legs. A round neckline, knee-length hemline and chest darts are additional figure-flattering features. Perhaps the most daring detail of this dress, however, is the dramatic back zipper, which boldly runs from the nape of the neck down to a sassy little slit in the bottom hem. Made from thick yet breathable 100% cotton, the dress has elbow-length sleeves that are ideal for spring weather. Putting a twist on the black and white stripes trend of the season, the Tiimalasi will keep you in style while still setting you apart from the crowd.
Care: Machine wash inside out with like colors. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
