Fashion Meets Fandom: Carol Peterson's Floral Halter Dress (The 'Burbs)

In the movie The 'Burbs, Carol Peterson wore this really cute floral halter dress in a scene when she went with her husband and their friends to welcome their new neighbors. What I love about this look is it's preppy but also rather sexy. 

The image of the suburbs tends to be painted as dull and boring along with the fashion. I know that's generalizing because style isn't determined by where you live which is why I thought it was great she wore this dress. Carol may be a wife and mom but that doesn't mean she has to wear clothes that are dull and frumpy. Which is why this floral halter dress was a good choice the costume designer made because not only is it form fitting but it also has a deep v-neck.
