Jenny's Tea-Length Parisian Watercolor Dress from "An Education"

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Things we can't wait to do after work today: Buy the just-released An Education DVD and watch it 100 times in a row.

Lately, a lot's been made (and idealized) about the 1960s—hello Mad Men—but we can't help but covet Jenny's wardrobe. Though the entire cast's costumes were sourced from vintage by costume designer Odile Dicks-Mireaux, we hear the tea-length Parisian watercolor number (above) is one of the movie's most-sought-after dresses.

Will somebody please whip up a batch and sell them to the public? Thanks.
