Julianna Cotton Shirtdress

I have the shorter version of this dress and was excited to try the longer one. Based on the shorter version, I figured the button at the waist wouldn’t open, but I wasn’t expecting several other buttons to be for display only. The only functional buttons are the ones above the waist and the last three at the bottom. I do appreciate that the buttons across the midsection and upper thigh are sewn shut for coverage. Still, I would have kept the dress if it opened more toward the bottom. That extra flexibility would have made a big difference.
