60s Rudi Gernreich Dress

Rare vintage circa 1969 Rudi Gerneich rusty brown wool fitted dress with a working chunky metal zipper that zips all the way around the entire dress. Wool knit; unlined. This same exact dress in black is part of the Met Museum fashion collection - its an iconic piece by an influential designer.
