EASE Facility, effortlessness:

Tory Burch drew inspiration from Claire McCardell's designs from the mid-twentieth century for her spring and pre-fall 2022 collections to commemorate the foundation of the Tory Burch Claire McCardell Fashion Fellowship at the Maryland Center for History and Culture, which holds McCardell's archive. This dress of sturdy cotton poplin features McCardell design signatures that underscore the lasting aesthetic and functional value of her work, including the wrap bodice and sash, decorative double-stitching, and full skirt neatly gathered into a low, rounded waistline reminiscent of the designer's early 1940s "Cloister Dress."
