I love this dress. If the straps were a tad wider, maybe almost upside down triangle shape. I would buy it a minute.  

 I like this better than spaghetti straps, but the wider/triangle shape would look good. I bet this dress would be interesting in a denim color/style. 

 Kind of pinup/classic calendar girl from the 50s denim?  

 Well pinup makes me think short dress, in my mind I would simply swap the material and keep the same pattern. It would be similar to those poodle skirts but with the whole dress and not just the bottom portion. And without the weird poodle embroidered on it 🤭 

 Noted.  

 Not a guy, but this is the type of dress I consider sundress. Maybe it's regional thinking? South = hot sun = no sleeves = sundress 🤷‍♀️. You pair it with a short or long sleeve cardi or shawl.  

 This is almost the spitting mental model for a sundress. Slightly above the knee, but maybe less patterned in my mind.
