Roarin' 80s | Vintage 80s does 50s Brown diagonal stripe dress
The story:
I swore my mom had this in her closet when I used to hid in there playing hide-and-seek as a kid. In another colour but the same pattern, down to the buttons. I couldn't find it now, but was so happy to see this similar one on the shelves of the vintage shops. It's the wiggle dress with an 80s update. The longer hemline means it goes great with heels or for someone with long legs, a pair of sexy ankle boots.
*Belt, shoes and bag: Stylist's own.
