Black or white | Vintage 1980s does 1940s black dress with white polka dots

Big circles or tiny ones? This dress has them both! ;) 

We kinda like how the big, round white buttons mimic (or perhaps shout out!) the tiny white circular polka dots on the elegantly-cut black dress and her adorable cuffed sleeves. 

Though it is probably made in the 1970s/80s, it kinda also reflects the 1940s/50s silhouette in a more modern way. 

Pinned?: No. But it was belted to show how it wears when worn with one.
