Once upon a time, a shirt dress, a raincoat, and a military flight suit had a tawdry and illicit threesome in a dressing room. Nine months later, this blue number was born and sold for $2. The price might make you think the affair was a cheap one (as most tawdry and illicit sartorial threesomes are), but the dress was made with love. It was just complicated since the raincoat was already seeing some snowpants.
So here I am now, with a dress that has shoulder epaulets, a weird flappy thing over the right shoulder/boob, and buttons up the front and back (!) of the skirt.
Did I mention it has butt buttons?
That is all.
Who’d have believed that butt buttons could be adorable?
Well, at least you make butt buttons look good.
Au contraire. They make ME look good. Because they’re awesome. Awesome butt buttons.
ARE THEY FUNCTIONAL? I can’t tell from the picture. Like, can you unbutton them to get a nice circulating breeze? That is The Question that has been plaguing me.
They are functional. Which does make me slightly concerned that one day some of the will pop open and everyone will see my unmentionables. But I can get a good cross breeze going if I like.
I can’t imagine WHY you would possibly need functional butt buttons, but they are an interesting detail. Love the blue and red pairing, regardless of the dress’ sordid past.
I’ve seen the feature on raincoats, and this dress really is quite raincoat-esque.
I love the butt buttons, and the color is divine! What a great find!
The colour of that dress is fantastico! It sounds like a dress with heaps of personality. I would absolutely be concerned about secret bottom-peepage with the buttons there but they look so cute!
BUTT BUTTONS! That is so cool. SO cool. I love this dress on you, even without the coolest buttons in the world. And the belt and scarf and shoes are the perfect touch!
