A beautifully worn-in antique Breton striped dress featuring classic navy and cream horizontal stripes. This piece made my Orcival (since 1939) has a straight, slightly boxy cut with long sleeves and small side splits at the hem for ease of movement. The soft cotton has aged beautifully, giving it a lived-in charm that’s both timeless and practical.
