Lucy Check Poplin Midi Dress

Batsheva Hay taps bygone era design codes to recreate this grey Lucy midi dress, in particular, riffing on details from the 1970s. It's crafted from check poplin with a ruffled Peter Pan collar and puffed sleeves, then falls to a long skirt, complete with gathers along the tiers for soft volume.
