Floaty floral dress with caplet & scarf
Margo Barton wore this Peppertree dress, caplet and scarf in a Vanity Walk fashion show. "I adored it but it was so expensive and so glam I couldn’t buy it." Not long after, Margo needed a dress for her cousin's wedding and her mother bought it for her! "I wore the dress often, with the scarf around my head as a turban or around my arm like jewellery." It is still being worn by Margo's daughters.
