Better Together | Vintage 1960s DRESS

Loving the construction on this simple black/white diagonal stripe dress! 

It seems like a skirt suit, but the lining of the top half extends to the skirt into a matching skirt. This way, the elastic of the skirt is hidden by the overlapping top! Love it!  

And there are such careful details like the asymmetrical design of the bust, the button on the shoulder, and the tulip sleeves. AND the option of being able to give the top more shape with a drawstring tie on the top. 

Pinned?: No.
