Size 10 Navy Blue Dress - Striped Velveteen 1970s Office Wear by Designer Albert Capraro - Chic 70s Chalk Stripe Sheath & Belt - Bust 38

Albert Capraro dressed the First Ladies in the 1970s, and as you might expect, his clothes speak to the upper crust. This dress is refined and elegant, yet as indomitable as a power suit. It's cut as a shirt-dress with a half-satin lapel, three-pocket front and trench style buttoned tabs at the wrists. Fully lined and tailored as carefully as a suit jacket, with original tie belt included.
