You...whimsical and elegant in this stunning new romantic 1940s dress. Inspired by styles worn on the silver screen in the 1940s by icons such as Veronica Lake - this dress is designed to make you feel like you're a princess.
Design is 1940s inspired with some creative licence thrown in. The neckline and sleeves have the most detail being gathered and top stitched in several areas to create a lovely demure sweetheart neckline. This is a very authentic 1940s neckline that flatters the bust and creates a stunning silhouette.
Dress has loose sleeves that gather into the shoulder and button cuff - you can easily move the covered button for fit.
Gathered under the bust - this flows into the V shape waist panel and has a stunning figure enhancing effect.
By popular demand, we have made this in a longer 'midi' length - approx 91cm from waist which makes it float into formal occasions easily. This 7 panel skirt has a lovely sweep and is designed to finish above the ankle on most - wear with your best shoes! We've kept this dress unlined to keep the overall weight down - you may choose to wear a slip underneath.
Has a V back with back zip for ease.
