Betty shirt dress in classic black with 3/4 length sleeves – retro 1950s style from Daisy Dapper
The Betty shirt dress from Daisy Dapper is the epitome of everyday chic vintage style. It is made from a lightweight woven fabric with comfortable stretch, which gives a beautiful drape and maximum comfort throughout the day.
The dress has the classic shirt dress cut with a flattering lapel collar and V-neckline, which elegantly frames the neck and face. Subtle gathering at the shoulders provides plenty of room over the bust and creates a feminine look — a detail that makes the Betty dress extra flattering on almost all body types.
The waist is beautifully accentuated by the matching belt, which creates the iconic hourglass silhouette associated with vintage fashion. The front of the dress is adorned with fine mother-of-pearl buttons at the bust, while a practical side zip ensures a perfect fit.
The 3/4 length sleeves are narrow enough to easily be worn under cardigans or fitted vintage jackets. And of course: the dress has pockets!
The classic black is both versatile and sophisticated. Style it with boots, flat shoes, or your favorite Mary Janes for a classic retro look. Feel free to wear one of our cardigans or the Siri jacket from Daisy Dapper on cooler days.

This aligns well with the current fashion landscape, where many millennials have started embracing the 90s as 'vintage'. Younger than that, and it's referred to as upcycled or second-hand.
