Late 1960s Malcolm Starr Butterfly Embroidered Collar Pale Pink Silk Shift Dress & Jacket Set designer-jean-muir Pockets sit on each sideThis beautiful dress and jacket set by Malcolm Starr is a pretty choice for spring. It was designed by Elinor Simmons, who was a young designer that Malcolm brought in to the company to design a higher end line for him in 1965. She eventually left in 1972 which giving us a window within to date this set. Everything about this dress suggest the late 1960s to me. Both the dress & jacket have been made out of a heavier silk finished in the palest pink.
