This two-tone authentic vintage shirtwaister-style dress is pure fabulous. The fabric in the bodice gives you that crisp, clean, tailored line through the shoulders and collar, while the patterned cotton-blend skirt brings in just the right amount softness and personality.

It is designed to flatter without clinging, with a softly defined waist where the bodice glides into the skirt. The skirt finishes just below the knee in an elegant pencil-skirt shape that sits neatly and moves well, plus you have the practicality of the original buttons up top and an original side zip.

Style it for work with a blazer and boots, then take it into evening with a silk scarf and statement earrings. On warmer days, roll the sleeves, open the collar, and add espadrilles or simple flats.
