#OOTD goes to this gorgeous "Popover" dress from Marylander Claire McCardell.👗 Born in Frederick in 1905, McCardell defied 1950s feminine fashion standards by merging functionality and style. As an avid skier and golfer, her need for practical attire led McCardell to pioneer the development of comfortable women's sportswear. Today, you can see McCardell's influence in everything from dresses with pockets to zippers. Check out the "Claire / McCardell" exhibit at MCHC this #WomensHistoryMonth for more of this designer's impact on women's wear. #Frederick #Maryland #WomeninFashion #History #Culture #Fashion Photo: Short-sleeved green dress with gray and black plaid pattern and matching belt, Claire McCardell (1905-1958) c1950s.
