Dana Buchman 3/4 sleeve short dress

This black Dana Buchanan 3/4 sleeve dress thought a conference would be all about polite applause and free coffee, but it was in for quite a ride. First, it survived the crowd crush for those flimsy name tags, then endured back-to-back sessions while balancing a bagel in one pocket and a collection of business cards in the other. By mid-afternoon, it was battling extreme temperature swings between an arctic conference room and the overstuffed hallway. By the time the dress made it to the closing reception, it had overheard at least six elevator pitches and somehow collected two mini hand sanitizers. This dress is ready to retire from the conference hustle—but it’s keeping a few stray lanyards as souvenirs.
