It is HOT in Chicago. 90s. No layers. No pants. Not a scrap more then is absolutely critical touching my skin. This dress is a good example of easy, updated vintage. I bought the dress when it was knee length and couple sizes to big. I wore it anyway because I loved the fabric and the lace inserts. It was classic but not modern and hard to wear. I ended up giving it away to my friend Kris who hemmed it up and took it in. Easy to do on a shift. She gave it to Morgs, who wore it to my wedding. Then I borrowed it back. Now I never shy away from shift dresses that are too big, I just make a couple little cuts and a couple little hems and donzo. New old dress!
