In fashion retrospectives many of us associate velvet dresses with the 1990s, when in fact the use of velvet in dressmaking far pre-dates the end of the 20th century. This Lattice Collar Dress by TBA taps into a sixties version of the style with a babydoll dress for the Autumn/Winter season.

The loose fit and draped style of this dress creates a great 60s silhouette, balancing femininity with girlish innocence. The lattice collar adds something unique to the popular Peter Pan collars of the time, with the high neckline contrasting well with a short hemline.

It's now available from ASOS for £150.
