Ma'am, yes, ma'am! Betty Carol wasn't messing around when she designed this pattern; this is one well made dress!

And it's so versatile:

Wear it as a baby doll with a jeans jacket and some heels to make your legs look a mile long.

Wear it military with an olive green coat and lace up boots.

Wear it with leggings and a turtleneck in the winter

Wear it to work

Keep it unbuttoned and wear it as a coat

Belt it. Don't belt it.

Cosplay it.

Details:

Cool, cool, cool, cloth knot buttons

Hook closure beneath buttons

2 snaps beneath hook closure

Deep pleats

Geometrically interesting opening

And can I just mention, this thing is heavy. As in, the material is good-quality heavy duty linen.

Want something unique that matches your many looks and what-do-I-feel-like wearing-tonight persona? I think you might have found your LBD (Little Beige Dress).

As per the Vintage Fashion Guild: "Mam’selle was one of the better of the Seventh Avenue Junior labels. As the line was comparatively expensive, Mam’selle’s market was the older teen and young woman."
