Wallace Mini Dress - Chocolate

The Wallace Mini Dress is cut like a shirt and finished like a dress, in chocolate. A spread collar opens over a v neckline, and the buttons running down the front are functional, as are the ones closing the long sleeves at the cuff. At the middle, an elasticised shirred waist pulls the dress in and gives the mini length something to flare away from. It is unlined. Workwear is where this one earns its keep. It reads as a shirt dress in an office and stops reading like one the moment you put a boot under it. Roll the sleeves back if the collar feels too formal for the day. A belt is unnecessary since the waist is already shirred, and a plain shoe keeps the whole thing from tipping into costume.
