1940s Wrap dress
red
Beautiful red wrap dress in authentic vintage style that is perfect all year round!
This beautiful wrap dress from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury is perfect all year round.
The cut of the dress gives room to the bust and emphasizes the waist, and the fine lapel collar frames the neck and face in the most beautiful way.
The wrap dress is cut at the waist and has short sleeves, so that it can be easily worn all year round. In winter with a warm cardigan over. The beautiful dress closes easily with the adjustable tie belt. The delicious material gives the dress a beautiful fall and a very authentic vintage look!
The material is Bloomsbury's signature fabric, a natural material that feels soft and lets the skin breathe! The dress is in a beautiful classic red.
- Suitable for all occasions: "dress it up" with a pair of vintage pumps and red lipstick and "dress it down" with a pair of flat shoes and neutral makeup!
- Wear it in winter with thick stockings and a cardigan over it, and in summer with bare legs and sandals.
- It's also the perfect dress for summer beach trips, as it's easy to put on and take off and the fabric dries quickly!
Tip: When you try this you must 1. Pull one side 'fixed' across the chest when closed. 2. Tie the ribbon around the waist twice, then tie a bow at the side. As a result, the collar sits nicely and the dress does not open.
Material: 100% Rayon Crepe. No stretch!
For products made in Rayon Crepe fabric, we suggest that you care for the garment in the same way as you would for original 40s clothing.
We recommend that you hand wash the garment as it was done in the 1940s, although today you can dry clean it instead if you wish!
It's best not to dry clothes in direct sunlight or in an excessively hot place (like over a radiator) as this can cause the natural material to expand and subsequently shrink.
If you accidentally wash or dry your garment too hot, try the following method to regain the original size and fit. Although this is not guaranteed to work, it may help!
1. Soak the garment in cold water with a very generous amount of fabric conditioner and leave it overnight.
2. Then rinse the garment in fresh cold water and while gently squeezing out the excess water, stretch the garment both width and lengthwise as far as you can.
3. Lay the garment flat on a towel to let it dry slowly and keep pulling it in both directions.

Are you unsure about the size, whether the dress suits your body type, or how to style it? Here, we have gathered some of the questions you might have, so you can more easily find the dress that is perfect for you.
Until a few years ago, vintage clothing was considered to be anything from 1920-1979. But in many contexts, generations are used as a guideline, as a generation is approximately 25 years. 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.
At Mondo Kaos, you'll primarily find vintage-inspired dresses, where the style is inspired by earlier decades, mainly the 1940s and 1950s, but the fit, comfort, and materials are created for modern use. All our vintage dresses are newly manufactured.
Our dresses may be inspired by, for example, the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, or 1960s. This can be seen in details such as silhouette, waist, neckline, skirt shape, print, length, or feminine vintage details.

Yes, many vintage-inspired dresses can be styled for both everyday wear and special occasions. Wear the dress with a cardigan, tights, and flat shoes for everyday use, or style it with heels, jewelry, and vintage-inspired makeup for parties, weddings, or special occasions.
Use the size guide on the product page and compare your measurements with the dress's measurements. If you are between two sizes, you can often choose the smaller size for a more fitted look or the larger size for a more relaxed drape. If you are unsure about the cut and body shape, you can also take our body type quiz.
