Geometric Good. Incredible Vintage 1960’s geo navy and bone jacquard mod full button front midi dress with tie waist, dagger collar, metal brutalist buttons, side welt pockets and dagger collar by Belle Saunders for Abe Schrader. So hard to capture the phenomenal weave of this piece, but wowza, I’m in love.
Born in Poland, Abe moved to the US as a young adult, working within the garment industry and formed his own label in 1952 making up-scale dresses, coats and suits for women. Belle Saunders joined the label in 1953 as the head designer for Abe. The label is also well known for its collaboration with Pauline Trigere in the 1980’s before selling the label in 1984.
