Vintage 1970s Bus Stop by Lee Bender Cheesecloth Cotton Lace Prairie Dress

A very rare find from the cult favourite vintage London-based boutique Bus Stop, this pretty purple prairie dress has beautiful crochet lace and pink ribbon trim around the neckline, cuffs, and skirt. It is a majestic little dress that is perfect for the cottagecore queens. 'Bus Stop' was a highly admired brand created by the late designer Lee Bender in 1968, and they set-up shop right beside Biba in Kensington, making this is a beautiful piece that is rich in British designer history. Oh, and she has pockets, which is always an added treat.
