A homespun hymn to vintage folk style, this 1960s-70s prairie dress by Peggy Barker is stitched with soul. It features fluttering patchwork sleeves in a kaleidoscope of ditsy florals, ginghams, and calicos—all edged in delicate ivory lace. The natural linen-blend body falls with graceful weight, adorned at the chest with a sunny yellow embroidered bloom. Square neckline, lace trim, and back tie closures add handmade charm to this one-of-a-kind piece.
It feels like something worn under orchard trees, in a field of daisies, or spinning through a slow song on vinyl. A rare blend of nostalgia and ease.
