Behold, beautiful Barbara is back! Our classic shirt dress returns in a new season irregular mini polka dot print on a rich burgundy American crepe fabric. This dreamy dotty design features pockets, a tortoiseshell button-through front and for extra shape, there’s a slight pleated detail from the waist as well as a flattering fabric tie waist to cinch it in. The slim collar neckline gives this dress a distinct retro feminine feel - you’ll be besotted with Barbara!

  1. Lovely dress

    I was initially worried spending so much on a dress on a website that I have never visited before, but this dress was so beautiful I knew I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it so I decided to order one, and I am glad I did! The dress is lovely and floaty, it has pockets which is a bonus (I didn't realise when I read the description), and the sizing is generous. I will definitely be ordering from Joanie again :)

    I absolutely adore all the items I've bought from Joanne. I very recently treated myself to this dress and couldn't be happier with it. It's gorgeous, vibrant, stylish and looks great on. It's made out of soft material and fits true to size. I love it and know it'll get a lot of use. It'll look beautiful on everyone who buys it- go on, treat yourself too!

    A lovely dress that fits true to size. Not a thick fabric so don’t get too warm and best of all, it has pockets that are actually a decent size, not just for show!

    This was the first Barbara I bought and I love it. I know have it in all the prints. This one is lovely with tan brogues and matching belt for a really autumnal look

    Really comfy, and measurements are accurate! LOVE that there are pockets! The cut is really flattering as well. Big thank you to customer services too - I was accidentally sent a US 14 instead of UK 14. Quick email and I was sent out the correct size on return of the incorrect one. Super easy, thank you!

    Lovely dress, can be dressed up or down. The material flows nicely. I find it finishes at my knees, whereas I'd prefer it sat just above them

    This is the second Barbara dress I have bought, and once again it is utterly gorgeous. The colour is beautiful, the material is light and flowy and the overall look can be dressed up or down. Another gorgeous dress.

    Lovely dress. Flow-y. Cute. Elegant. Great with black tights too. But...I have a feeling, once again, that the waist height is off. It ties just too far up by my ribs. I am 6ft tall. More range for size or adjustable belt loops would be great. Also: stretchy end of sleeves. These are far too tight. Also: broad back? Order a size up to have free range. Other than that, I am keeping it. It's a lovely dress.
