Mini dress
André Courrèges
1966
Paris, France
Museum no. T.99-1974
Worn and given by Mrs Stavros Niarchos
This pinafore is typical of the simple, triangular shape of many mini dresses. It is made from thick wool gabardine and the seams emphasise how the dress is cut symmetrically. Decoration is minimal with two pocket flaps at the front and a belt attached at the centre back by two buttons.
