Story & heritage
The V&A Margie Strappy Dress is a summer floral dress with a square neckline, tie straps, and relaxed side splits.
Its print comes from a fragment of block-printed fabric held in the V&A collection and traces back to Miles & Edwards, a major early-19th-century decorating firm.
Materials & craft
Made in India from 100% organic cotton.
The listing says the print was originally produced as a furnishing textile around 180 years ago, then adapted into this warm-weather dress.
