zGeoffrey Beene Cotton Mushroom Foraging Ensemble... one of his first pieces in his first diffusion line he started in 1970.

Unbearably cute ensemble features color blocked mini dress with a playful mushroom print allover and one large pocket ( to go foraging for mushrooms).

The pants have a slightly wide fit with a cinched waist. This whole outfit is so perfect for a summer picnic or a nice breezy walk in the woods!

Mini Dress: Bust 34"--Waist 32"
Pants: Waist 29"--Hips 42"--Inseam 29.5"

Geoffrey Beene began his career in the 1950s, designing under numerous New York houses including Teal Traina, finally opening his own label in 1963. Beene was incredibly conscious of the human body, and was particularly regardful of the figure in motion - as Beene once said“clothing is nothing until it hits the body." His designs were created to work with the client’s body, encasing it lightly and giving it a more artful structure. Beene's reinterpretations of dress formality, use of synthetics, and unusual combination of materials (accessories in acrylic and diamonds, for example), set him aside from his contemporaries who focused on the business of fashion, rather than the artistry of fashion.
