Ava 1940s dress
burgundy
Beautiful A-line dress in a simple 1940s vintage cut from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
Note that this dress runs smaller in size and is best suited for a smaller or medium bust.
This beautiful dress exudes discreet elegance and vintage charm.
The dress is made from an original vintage pattern, which is clearly visible in the fine details. The dress features a V-neckline and 4 covered buttons down to the waist piece, which beautifully accentuates the waist. The buttons are not just for decoration; to make it easier to get into the dress, there is also a zipper on the side.
The sleeves have a slight gathering that gives it a lovely vintage aesthetic. The wide long "balloon sleeves" are fastened with 2 covered buttons at the wrist.
The dress is beautifully tailored and also has a belt that ties at the back. This creates a truly beautiful silhouette along with the lovely bow detail.
The skirt is A-shaped, falling beautifully and flattering over the hips and thighs. It is a truly wonderful dress that can be worn for both everyday and festive occasions.
- Beautiful dress in authentic 1940s style
- Style with fine accessories such as earrings and a hair flower for a festive vintage look.
- Model Ingrid is 174 cm tall and is wearing the shirt in size 8/x-small
TIP: The dress is smaller over the bust than our other dresses, so please check the size guide carefully before ordering.
100% rayon crepe. No stretch.
Rayon crepe is a natural, lightweight and beautiful material, and we recommend that you care for the garment as they did with original 1940s clothing.
We suggest hand washing, just like they did back then. If you want to use the easier option of using a washing machine, it's very important to wash on a gentle cycle and place the garment in a laundry bag. However, we do not recommend washing in a machine as not all machines treat clothes equally well.
Avoid drying clothes in direct sunlight or in very hot places (e.g. over a radiator) as this can cause the material to expand and subsequently shrink.
If the garment has been washed too hot.
In the unlikely event of an accident, you can try the following method to get the garment back to its original size and fit. This method is not guaranteed, but may help in some cases:
- Soak the garment in cold water with a very generous amount of fabric conditioner and leave it overnight.
- 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.
- Lay the garment flat on a towel to let it dry slowly and keep pulling it in both directions.

Questions about fit, styling, and silhouette
Are you unsure about size, body shape, or how to style the dress? Here, we have gathered the most important answers about fit, silhouette, and vintage-inspired dresses, so you can more easily find the dress that suits you best.
A vintage dress is originally a dress from a previous period, often characterized by period-specific cuts, materials, and details. At Mondo Kaos, you will primarily find vintage-inspired dresses, where the expression is inspired by past decades, but the fit, comfort, and materials are designed for modern use. "Vintage" is often used for clothing that is not new and is a good example of a style from the past. All our vintage dresses are newly produced.
Our vintage dress is particularly well-suited for those who desire a feminine silhouette with a focus on fit, waist, and drape. Depending on the cut, the dress can be especially good for hourglass / X-figure, pear / A-figure, rectangle / H-figure, apple / O-figure, or inverted triangle / V-figure.
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.
At Mondo Kaos, you'll primarily find vintage-inspired dresses. This means the dresses have a retro look inspired by past decades, but are created with modern comfort, fit, and materials, so they can be worn every day.
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.
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 cuts and body shapes, you can also take our silhouette quiz.
