The screen print work on this shimmering 1960s shift dress from Alfred Shaheen is just gorgeous! The body of the dress is gently shaped with diagonal darting at the bust and a self fabric sash is used to define the waist. The simple styling allows the stunning Shaheen screenprint to take center stage. An over-sized flyout collar adds some drama. The long sleeves are semisheer, ending in solid cuffs.
