Mabel 1940s dress
navy with polka dots
Beautiful fitted dress in a simple 1940s vintage cut from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
Beautiful dress with a touch of Hollywood from England from the Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
The dress has lots of fine details. It has a V-neck and small covered decorative buttons down to the waist piece, which beautifully highlight the waist.
The sleeves have a slight wrinkle which gives the nice vintage aesthetic. The short sleeves are finished with a few small decorative buttons.
The dress is beautifully waisted, and also has a ribbon which is tied at the back. This gives you a really beautiful silhouette as well as the fine bow detail.
The skirt has a sarong effect, which falls beautifully and flatteringly down the hips and thighs. It is a truly wonderful dress.
- Beautiful dress in authentic 1940s style
- Style with fine accessories such as earrings and hair flower, for a festive vintage look.
Note that the video is just to show the dress on. This dress is navy blue with dots.
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.
