Upcycled 70s White Vintage Dress

I found this dress at an antique shop on the way to Galax, VA. I wasn’t sure of the era – to me it feels very “Little House on the Prairie”. But, the shop keeper said he thought it was from the 70′s because apparently this type of fabric was popular back then. I loved all the bodice detailing, and the flowing skirt, but it was a bit much. All it needed was to remove the sleeves and some length to be perfectly wearable (without funny looks).
