b'WEEK 45: OH, BETTYBetty Barclay, (alongside Dash! Liz Claiborne, Planet, Country Casuals et al), were the labels I associated with the posh side of the Ladies fashion floor; one escalator trip above my labels of choice. I never considered Betty Barclay and its completely fictitious brand name first time around, leaving it to newsreaders and the Bridge-playing sorority. How wrong of me.I now look at BB through a different lens and in this cassis needlecord dress I see nothing but great design detailing, easily holding its own against todays high street competition. Do forgive me, Betty Barclay.Tip: These department store labels frequently appear on charity shop rails; give them a second look.OppositeTop left to right: burgundy bomber jacket, Liz Claiborne silk blouse, vintage skirt, Zara sling-backs; Mary Portas dress, Zara sling-backs; vintage wool dress, brooch, velvet clutch, Saxone heels.Middle left to right: Galeries Lafayette shirt, vintage BHS navy skirt, ASH heels, hat with veiling (no label), bangle & poppy; faux leather biker jacket & Mary Portas dress; Betty Barclay, cross bag & Bertie boots.Bottom left to right: vintage sweatshirt, M&S Per Una corduroy mini, Bertie ankle boots; greys, plum & orange; Timberland tunic dress, Galeries Lafayette shirt, chunky scarf, Clarks brogues.
