1969 Rudi Gernreich Iconic Cross Your Heart Empire Red Navy Knit Mod Maxi Dress
About the Item
A fearless designer, Rudi Gernreich’s body conscious garments dazzled the fashion world with originality and vision. Gernreich held a futurist view of fashion that resulted in innovations such as using plastic in clothes and removing inner construction. This iconic red and navy-blue "cross your heart" maxi dress is a perfect example of his genius. The bodice has a low-cut plunge empire band crossing under the breasts and closing over the center back zipper. I love the inverted pleat at the center front and flattering a-line silhouette with hidden pockets. This rare garment is modern, comfortable and a fierce fashion statement!
Measurements
Bust: 32 inches
Hips: up to 40 inches
Total Length: 57 inches
This Rudi Gernreich designer dress is in excellent condition with no rips, holes or discoloration. The dress closes with a back zipper. One tiny pin-sized spot to the knit which is not noticeable when worn. This garment is over 50 years old and will only increase in value.

Chanel is known to be one of the most luxurious and decadent fashion houses in the world.
