Mary Quant may be known for her innovative styles that helped define fashion in the 1960s. But this designer of plastic raincoats, psychedelic tights, mini-skirts, micro-minis, go-go boots, mad house pajamas and knickerbockers had a few more conservative designs up her sleeve as well.

Today’s VPOD is a fine example. Designed as part of Mary Quant’s Ginger Group, her mass-market line, this gold knit dress is more than meets the eye with a lovely knitted collar and three rows of gold glass stones at the hem. And, really, with swimsuit season still months away, is there a better way to show off the results from your last six weeks of gym workouts? A  figure-hugging sweater dress like this is winter’s equivalent of a string bikini.

And this one’s a fine choice for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Kittycatsilver Vintage Boutique.
