It buttons at the blouse but zips at the skirt with a hook-and-eye closure at the waist.

If you ask me, times they are a’changin’. Back in the 1980s, people in their teens and 20s were not wearing dresses like this. Instead, jeans were way more fashionable for young people. Everyone was wearing Levi’s, Guess, and Jordache, baby.

Dresses like this one were for working women, people well out of college and into their career years. Working moms. Literal librarians.

I see so many younger people now rocking cute vintage dresses like this paired with Doc Martens, cute tights, awesome Granny-style sweaters, and cool eyewear. And I am here for it!
