Too cool for school | Vintage 1980s collared paisley Floral print pleated front Tea dress

The story:

A delicate beauty this is. Row of buttons down the back up to the elastic waistline and a full skirt continues below in  rare calf length. 

We can imagine a Frankie magazine shot with a girl in a long blunt haircut, white ankle socks, oxfords and a vintage worn leather shoulder bag staring out at us in this lovely long dress.The crisp white collar and neat pleated front gets us everytime. AND it comes with 2 side pockets!
