Jappo Pop-po | Vintage 1980s-does-1950s blue and white polka dot Elegant Day Dress
The tag on this says "Glassy Gem". We think it's a classy one ;)
With fabric buttons ALL the way down from neck to hem, this comfy dress makes us think of the 50s step ford wives and their flawless getup even while doing the groceries and hosting tea with friends.
The material on this has some good weight, has a very smooth/slight sheen on it, yet holds the shape well. And the small cap sleeves are actually great for silhouetting those shoulders/arms.
When the fabric is this simple, the cut is all that matters. And it is impeccable on this. There are even some tucks at the waist to give it that full, flared skirt silhouette.
