Description: A vibrant and refined design from Bill Blass, this shift dress is rendered in a striking red with clean, minimalist lines. The silhouette is softly tailored with a straight, easy fit, complemented by short sleeves and a structured mandarin collar that lends a subtle nod to traditional Chinese dress. The front is accented with decorative frog closures, each secured with sculptural toggle buttons, adding both texture and visual interest while maintaining the garment’s streamlined elegance. A gently curved front seam and side slit enhance movement and ease. Understated yet distinctive, the piece reflects Blass’s talent for combining classic American sportswear with global influences and polished simplicity.

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
