free people black and white dress Vintage Pattern Maxi with Rhinestones Selected by The Curatorial Dept and versatile Mini Dress Free People Black

With Jacks college graduation this past weekend and then an ill family member (who is now on the mend), I had to pull an oldie out to share today, but this is one of my absolute favorites

The high-neck dress was form-fitting up top, floor-length at the bottom, and covered entirely in sequins

Add to that the fact that it also appears to have an Angelina Jolie-worthy thigh-high split, and it's safe to say that the lewk is all kinds of extra (which, is the festive season style MO, right?)

Fun fact for you: originally, the dress was much shorter, but the film studios thought it showed too much of Audreys leg, so the lower half was redesigned by costume designer Edith Head

The famed dress has stayed preserved at Ripleys Believe It or Not
