This two-tone uniform in checked and solid navy blue polyester was created in 1974 by American fashion designer Bill Blass (1922–2002), who was known for elegant daywear and traditional fabrics. Giving the appearance of a two-piece outfit with an overskirt top, it is an easy-fit, one-piece shirtdress with a back zipper. The matching skinny belt completes the classic look.
