Trend Alert: Button-Down Dresses

Button-up in a button-down dress this summertime. As you probably guessed, this style dress has buttons running down the front, that fasten to hold it together. Show more or less skin, by switching up the number of buttons you keep undone—depending on your company (coworkers versus a hot date) or the weather, perhaps?
