It looks like the kind of dress my mum would wear all summer, when I was little. I would turn it in a comfort dress to wear when I desperately want it to be summer. Without sleeves and in a distressed linen. A dusky violet or a earthy yellow, the kind of colour I can only wear when I am tanned. Thanks for the giveaway.
