A little birdy told us you’re in the market for a new day dress - allow us to introduce you to Barbara! This retro shirt dress is crafted from our favourite easy-wear, easy-care LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose in an all-over exotic bird print inspired by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn’s 19th-century illustrations. Featuring three-quarter length sleeves, a retro roll collar with a V-neckline leading to a button-through front, a sash tie belt at the waist, and pockets at the hip, Barbara makes achieveing im-peck-able style easier than ever before!
Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn (1829-1928) was a keen naturalist and amateur ornithologist who lived in Kotagari, India, where she made paintings of the local birds and their eggs, flowers, and fruits of the surrounding area. Three bound volumes of her watercolours are preserved in the Natural History Museum’s collections.

Corozo
The buttons on this product are made from Corozo, a sustainable alternative to traditional virgin plastic buttons. Corozo, also known as Tagua, is a species of tropical palm native to South America. The buttons on this garment are made from seeds that have been carefully harvested from inside the large nuts that grow on Corozo trees - their dense fibres make them a perfect alternative to virgin plastic buttons, and they can be machine washed, steamed, and ironed!
