Garden Gardenia | Vintage 1950s 1960s Floral housecoat shirt dress with Snap buttons and Pocket
We love button-down dresses because we can wear them as a dress, and also as a coat, or even like a semi-overall, unbutton halfway down and with a tank-top inside for that grungier, edgier look.
This would be great with denim sneakers or wooden clogs and a messy do.
The prints are just so fun on their own, with the sweetest peter-pan collar, you could do so much more (or less, in a sense) to make it your own.
Make it work!
Pinned?: No.
