With side seam pockets for practicality and style, this dress combines both beauty and functionality
Created by Norman Norell, the curve-hugging design featured sequins all over and an interesting armhole configuration, in which Marilyn (whether intentionally or accidentally) wore the slots of armholes on the outside, making the neckline have a V-cut as opposed to its original boatneck style
It emerged in the late 1990s as workplaces became more flexible, and traditional corporate dress codes started to loosen up
You can find them at estate sales, antique shops, or online
The Rosella cream white floral cottagecore midi dress is a summer style that belongs in your closet
I hope this gets you started on a fun and successful sewing project
