An exceptional piece of 1960s Mod design, this Alfred Shaheen shift dress features a bold op-art Greek key side panels constructed as 3‑D box pleats — a rare structural detail from Shaheen’s mid‑century line. Made from an off‑white midweight crepe (likely rayon or a rayon blend), it has a clean, architectural silhouette with a central front pleat and a back Talon nylon coil zipper.
Label reads: Alfred Shaheen — the Master Printer.
While structurally sound with a sharp, well-tailored cut, this piece is being offered AS IS for repair, textile study, theater, or costume use due to cosmetic storage flaws.
