Button Dress
The button dress is a timeless dress that you can adapt to your own taste. There's a variant that has buttons all the way down to the hem or one with a skirt part without buttons. If you like a challenge then you can add piping details and button flaps. This dress is great in every season and so it has both short and 3/4 length sleeves to choose from. For a sporty style dress, choose a french terry (a light sweat fabric), or for a more feminine look choose a single jersey knit in cotton of viscose.
