The Perfect Union.

What happens when you combine the material that won the West with the collar that conquered the East?

It means you just have the North and South left.

Which should be no problem in this denim dress.

I'd like to think of it as a perfect union.

(It's the romantic in me.)

East Meets West Denim Dress (No. 3366), in substantial 5.5 ounce cotton denim. Nine-button closure. Full length sleeves. Patch pockets for small booklet on the Ming Dynasty. Single button closure. Bust darts for shaping. Shirttail hem with insets at side seams. Self-fabric belt ties it all together.

You'll be equally at home at a barbecue in Kalispell, Montana, as you will having cocktails at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong.

Women's sizes: 2 through 20.

Colors: Dark Indigo, Light Indigo.

A great leather belt is something you just want to touch, smell, feel, and own.

And if you can remove it in a pinch, that's all the better.

Airport security.

Wherever your imagination leads you.

Quick Release Belt (No. 3521). Superb leather craftsmen work with the finest English bridle leather, and make each belt by hand for us. With solid brass detail. (Stainless steel on black belt.)

With a Mandarin collar denim dress?

Another perfect union.
