This desight was inspired by housedresses of the '50s - but it's cute enough that you'll want to wear it out of the house too! The zip front makes it easy to throw on for a day of chores or play. It has an unusual bodice construction: the front and back bodice are cut in one piece with short kimono sleeves, and a pleat gives the shoulder seam shaping. The collar has a wing shape, giving it a rockabilly look.
