Marni Cotton Print Shift Dress houndstooth The V&A in London hasFROM BETTE DAVIS'S CLOSET Marni is, of course, all about the print, and this cotton one is not disappointing: it looks like hundreds of hand painted paintbrush heads in subfusc colors that are almost blue and brown, all on a white ground. The cotton is crisp, almost feeling like a very light chintz, there's a spread collar, short sleeves and a side zip and otherwise it's straight up and down. Measurements: Length 42", Bust 38", hip 42", shoulder 16"
