“We owned a garden on a hill, We planted rose and daffodil,
Flowers that English poets sing, And hoped for glory in the Spring.
We planted yellow hollyhocks, And humble sweetly-smelling stocks,
And columbine for carnival, And dreamt of Summer's festival.
And Autumn not to be outdone As heiress of the summer sun,
Should doubly wreathe her tawny head With poppies and with creepers red.
We waited then for all to grow, We planted wallflowers in a row.
And lavender and borage blue, Alas! we waited, I and you,
But love was all that ever grew.”― Vita Sackville-West, Poems of West & East
Inspired by our muse Vita Sackville-West this style has become a constant part of the by.agy brand; it's a design that creates an androgynous silhouette whilst still remaining slightly feminine.
Sleeveless smock style with low armholes. Black silk organza couching on the bodice inspired by black dahlia flowers and the long stems. Both shoulders have two long rouleau ties so can either be worn fastened or left loose. The skirt is subtly gathered creating a soft, feminine look.
This dress is made from 100% silk organza in black.
