the look

a collectible 1970s roberta di camerino trompe l’oeil midi dress, made in italy with a printed illusion of a layered white blouse, dark jacket, and pleated plaid skirt. roberta di camerino’s ready-to-wear is especially known for optical illusion prints, and vogue notes that her jersey dresses used printed effects to create the illusion of pleats and movement. the gold-tone “r” buttons, pointed collar, white cuffs, and collegiate plaid skirt make this one of the more recognizable trompe l’oeil formats from the house.
