Bernadette | Vintage 1980s loose-fit Blue sleeveless Long dress with Box lace cutouts

We like lace, but we think simple ones look best on us (and secretly envy all those who can wear those lovely floral and intricate laced frocks). And we like us a good blue dress too, preferably long so we don't really have to care if we cross our legs just-so. ;) 

So this comfy, loose-fit vintage 1980s number with her little strips of white lace at just the right places speaks to the feminine tom-boy in us. 

We want to say this is a maxi, but it really depends on how tall you are. Thus, please do take to the good 'ol tape measure if you're particular about where the hem hits ;) 

The elastic is very loose, so we'd say wear it like a low-waist/dropped waist dress. It's more comfy that way (just our opinion ;) 

Pinned?: No.
