Outwit, out-style, and outlast them all in this very versatile cotton garment. While it may be a fab frock one day, with its white tube top, rustic tan whipstitching, and peach, blue, and green posies, with a simple tug down, it's transformed into a high-waisted skirt with a fully-lined, circle eyelet, Prussian blue bottom. But that's not all - have a super sweet top you want to show off? Simply fold down the stretchy white top, and this fantastic frock goes incognito, covertly converted into a low skirt! This posh piece is a modern must-have for any fickle fashionista or glamorous gal who dreams of being stranded on an island with only a suitcase and her styling savvy. By Scrapbook.
