Shelly navy blue dress
40s style
An elegant 40s style dress in navy blue with a sweetheart neckline from Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
Shelly is a super elegant and classic Bloomsbury dress in an authentic 40's style design.
The dress has a beautiful sweetheart neckline, with ruching on each side of the shoulders. The short sleeves have perfect fullness, with a narrow cuff at the bottom. The top is fitted, with a waistband at the natural waist. The waistband can be adjusted by tying at the back, while you can make a nice bow.
The skirt consists of a faux-wrap part, which is super flattering with a slight gather, and makes the dress easy to move in.
At the back, the beautiful Shelly dress closes with a button at the neck, after which there is a small keyhole before the zip closure, which allows you to easily get in and out of your beautiful new dress.
As always, the design is an authentic 40s design, and made in the classic Bloomsbury Crepe de Chine.
- Beautiful vintage style party dress
- Wear beautiful red or black heels with your new dress
- A beautiful necklace accentuates the sweetheart neckline.
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.
