and maybe even Ernie's orange and Big Bird's yellow

Too cool for school | Vintage 1980s collared paisley Floral print pleated front Tea dress dress and maybe even Ernie's orangeThe story: A delicate beauty this is. Row of buttons down the back up to the elastic waistline and a full skirt continues below in rare calf length. We can imagine a Frankie magazine shot with a girl in a long blunt haircut, white ankle socks, oxfords and a vintage worn leather shoulder bag staring out at us in this lovely long dress. The crisp white collar and neat pleated front gets us everytime. AND it comes with 2 side pockets! *Belt, hat, shoes
