Home & Hearth | Vintage 1980s 1990s patchwork appliqué blue white checkered dress
Home is where the heart is, and our heart is here with this quaint and cosy vintage 1980s/90s checkered dress.
It’s roomy enough for a lounge-about at home without sacrificing the cool-factor; at the same time the appliqué is a tribute of sorts to the fun women found in hard work in the past (and why not the present too?)
