Shaybelle Carpenter Dress

I bought this dress a little over two years ago from the now-defunct Etsy shop Shaybelle. It's made from a brown fabric (I feel like it's a wool blend, since it's thicker/heavier than cotton), with a "placket and stand collar, gathers at front and back" (it just occurred to me I forgot to photograph the back, but you can see an image of that in the original listing from the Shaybelle shop). Oh, and pockets! It has two side pockets, and also 3/4 sleeves. It's A-line, and I usually wore the pictured belt (from a She-Bible dress...belt not included in this listing) with the dress to add color and allow for a fuller shape on the bottom. It looks great with tights and is warm in the winter. And though Alyson chose a different fabric than I, you can see her in her Carpenter Dress here. Click on the photos for enlarged views! And sorry it's not ironed in these pictures...I'm super lazy : (
