I knew I wanted this dress when I saw it on the Neiman Marcus website two years ago, and when I found it on sale, in my size (1 left!) in Nordstrom, I couldn’t help but snatch it up. The great thing about this dress is it functions perfectly as both a winter and summer dress (though originally it was released in the winter). For someone like me, with a very small wardrobe, it’s essential that my items be transferable between seasons.
The skirt is a very full circle skirt (not gathered!) propped up by a cotton and lace petticoat underneath. Perfect for twirling.
You can see better details of the front in this old photograph! The bodice has boning and also a little bit of lace.
Here I’ve paired it with a little boy’s sweater (no idea where it came from…), some Betsey Johnson patterned tights, and my Target boots.
