IVANAhelsinki Diamond Print Dress

My beloved IVANAhelsinki dress. I bought it last Spring from Eden & Eden and wore it to an exhibit opening at the Museum I worked at at the time. But since then I don't really get to go out much, and the dress has just been hanging in my closet. The dress is from the Finnish designer's "Diamond, Stripes and Revolver" collection, and is ueber comfortable. It's rather shapeless, with big, puffy sleeves, but all of these elements can be reeled in by cinching a belt around the waist (as is seen in my 3rd photo) or folding up the sleeves (as is seen in the 4th photo; I have a photo of the same sleeve roll if anyone is interested, but the lighting was too poor for me to post it here). The top front also has an adorable quilted detail, and a vertical line of buttons descending down the back (the two things that sold me on the dress). Some deets:
