60s Bow Shift Dress at Oasis
Offering up a more mainstream turn of the decade look is this 60s Shift Dress from Oasis, which is newly-available online. The cut is more demure than later looks from the decade, with a knee-length hemline and high neck. The girlish additions of light pleating at the hips and a […]
