COTTAGE DIARY -1980s Vintage Betty Barclay Ditsy Flower Print Dress - Size M/L
Meet COTTAGE DIARY, a charming 1980s Betty Barclay dress with a lovely old-fashioned countryside feel. Made from softly flowing viscose in deep navy, she is scattered with tiny ivory flowers, reminiscent of a forgotten cottage garden. Her delicate cream lace collar, little pearlescent buttons and gently gathered shoulders add such a romantic touch. The relaxed silhouette falls beautifully into a long, flowing skirt, with two practical pockets and softly gathered sleeves. There is something wonderfully nostalgic about her, bringing to mind quiet autumn mornings, old country houses, handwritten letters and the simple beauty of days spent in the countryside.
