Miss Hardy | Orchid flower geometric print Vintage 1970s pleated Day dress

The story:

We're not quite sure what these flowers are, but they look like hardy, resilient orchids to us. Printed on a lovely forest green soft chiffon-y fabric, raglan flutter sleeves and a accordion-pleated skirt. 3 cute brown buttons close the back. And a little fabric tie that the front.
