Happy Dotties | Vintage 1980s-does-1950s button down dress with Structured waist
The story:
Happy dots make us feel, well..... happy!
These happy dots do, at least. We are simple folks that way ;)
And of course a good 80s-does-50s wiggle silhouette makes us think of how things could be sexy yet happy and relaxed at the same time. Actually, sexy is relaxed is confident, isn't it?
The double-breasted look on this goes all the way down from bust to hem and the buttons are entirely functional!
Has a decorative tie-back at the back of the dress which you could totally unpick and tighten or loosen to your needs.
Pinned?: No.
