opinions on this dress

Upon first glance, I thought it was cute and very vintage looking , but then the more I look at it, it looks a little costumey. -- Edited on 7/17/12 3:47 PM --

Date: 7/17/12 3:56 PM It looks like a throwback to the late 60s-early 70s, but I find the combination of pleats, four different colors, plus that insane contrast buttoned band over the low-slung belt just too much for one little dress. In one or two colors, and with either the belt or the button band--but not both--fine.

(at least that's how those buttons look to me) ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

It's amazing, what goes around comes around. I had a dress almost just like this(the style, not the colors)when I was in High School. I think that's about the age that can get away with wearing it. This model is having a hard time pulling it off...
