A 1980's vintage floral georgette dress from collectible LA designer Diane Freis, whose designs captured the playful yet glamorous spirit of the era.
This piece is a bit more subdued than her typical work, making it a little more wearable.
It has a unique cape detail around the shoulders, with tasseled drawstrings at the neckline, and a smocked waistline.
Freis was known for creating colorful, easy-to-wear dresses in eye-catching patterns - using easy flowing georgette and one-size styling, great for travel. She was worn by many musicians of the day, such as Diana Ross, Elton John and Joni Mitchell.
"The dress has to appeal to a woman's emotions. She puts on the dress she likes. And then if the dress likes her, she'll know it. She'll see the transformation in the mirror. She'll put that dress on, and the magic happens. She feels special. And the dress seems to say, 'I love you too, honey.' " -Diane Freis
