Carla Calamari | Vintage 1960s 1970s mustard yellow polka dot Day dress

The story:

Loving this mustard-coloured polka dot dress. It has such neat, pretty piping and subtle vertical stripes and pleats that gives it dimension without fussing too much about the lines. 

These little polka dots remind us of calamari and christmas for some reason. :D 

And the shiny buttons are like the perfect dots of divination on a perfect plate in a posh restaurant. 

Pinned?: No.
