This is a stunning 70s vintage long hooded maxi swimwear duster cover-up, a rare garment by swimsuit designer, Elizabeth Stewart! Sold at Saks Fifth Avenue, and made of silky soft nylon, it's a very unique piece, perfect for layering. The long sleeve cuffs and the waist are elasticized, and this duster is open in the front, with two sets of black string ties at the chest and front waist. Pull up the attached hood for an air of mystery, or to keep the sand out of your eyes at the beach. It draws its style inspiration from the mod fashion-forward names of the day like Emilio Pucci and Leonard, who were making wrinkle-free, bright garments in bold abstract patterns for the travel jet-setters of the 1970s. Designed to be worn at the pool or ocean over your swimsuit, but lovely when styled over a black mini dress, a leotard, or even a slip, as we have shown it here.
It's in very good clean condition, steam cleaned, no flaws or wear noted. The elastic is tight and stretchy. The labels say "E. Stewart, United States of America," and Saks Fifth Avenue." Designer Elizabeth Stewart was the daughter of Catalina Swimsuits owner, Ed Stewart. There are no care tags. It feels like nylon and we recommend gentle hand washing only, with mild soap and line drying for care. It fits like a Women's Small and measures:
Chest - 34 inches,
Waist - 24 inches to 32 inches, elasticized,
