Dress, Worn by Winifred Jones Morsches, 2002-2003

01

Artifact Overview

New York designers Tom and Linda Platt believe great clothes should be simple. The couple's timeless designs -- with streamlined silhouettes, bold details, and daring colors -- transcend trends and fashion obsolescence and are at home in small-town America or cosmopolitan city. The Platts created this garment for their client Winifred Jones Morsches, a wealthy woman from a small Indiana town.
