My new spring dress needs a name


I've been wanting to make this dress for a while...I love the navy blue pinpoint oxford fabric, the 1950s-inspired shape, the bateau neckline and the three-quarter length sleeves...but my favorite part is the beautiful dart and pleat detail on the bodice and skirt (see the pics below.)  OH and of course it has pockets!  I lined the skirt to give it some a-line retro flare.

Two questions:

1. What should I name it?
2. How should I wear it?
