Delaunay's passion for exploring the way complementary colors (one primary with one secondary) reacted to one another, was not contained to a fine art.

She eventually built a career in designing fashions for dresses, driving caps, swimsuits, shoes, and scarves. This dress is of particular importance because it was one of the earliest examples of her unique "simultaneous" dresses.
