Daydress began with a single dress; A perfectly simple, soft cotton shirt dress. Gabby was travelling with work in India, being happily overwhelmed by the sights, sounds and colours of Jaipur’s old city. Gabby's head was turned by the piles-upon-piles of brightly coloured block printed cottons for sale, so she picked a pretty one, took it to a tailor and asked him to make her a perfect shirt dress, with pockets, a tidy little Nehru collar and buttons all the way down the front, and that was the first Daydress.
