Sew a vintage-style gown with the Cashmerette Club Rockwell Dress! The Rockwell is inspired by the groundbreaking creations of fashion designer Claire McCardell in the late 1940s. The Rockwell has a tightly gathered neckline with front tie and slit and is gathered under the bust with a waist tie that wraps around the torso. The Rockwell Dress has three different views: View A has a contrasting neckband and waist tie, View B is color-blocked, and View C is made from a single fabric. Each view can be made as either a maxi length or a midi length dress and the versatile waist ties can be tied in numerous different ways to create many different looks. The Rockwell Dress is a Cashmerette Club x Julie Eilber collaboration.Get your copy at cashmerette.com/products/rockwell-dress?sca_ref=8985988.kFKFMtQ8ZA
