Dress of the Day: ABS Vintage Lace Shirtdress

abs by allen schwartz vintage lace shirt dressCan anyone look at this dress and say "eh?"

That's right. No one can because this ABS by Allen Schwartz Vintage Lace Shirt Dress is awesome. The dress is made of chiffon silk with a button-up top, three -quarter-length sleeves, embroidered lace accents, and an empire waist that lets out into a crinkled skirt that falls below the knee. Since it's silk, it has to be dry-cleaned, but the part that actually has to be cleaned is the full slip inside, which is polyester and machine washable. That is, of course, unless you spill some of that cocktail on yourself, which you most definitely don't want to do if you get the dress in ivory.

The dress is $230 at Nordstrom.
