Dress - 1960s Hawaiian Dark Barkcloth
Sunny florals find their roots in this elegant wrap dress. The dress is cinched at the front, left waist by a 1920 natural-colored mother of pearl buckle. The bust line is strategically held in place by small black British snaps c. 1940. Wear with boots for an uptown meets downtown mood, or pair with kitten heels for a touch of modern day mod. Inspired by the noir femme fatale, we like this dress for a date with leather boots, or at a resort.
