Dolores A-line dress
Palaca Blue
Vintage style A-line dress from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury in a beautiful "palace blue".
An elegant dress in authentic 1940s style.
Dolores is an elegant vintage style dress that is super versatile and falls beautifully over the body's curves.
There are gathers at the shoulders and where the bodice meets the waistband, and a flattering V crossover neckline provides a nice fit over the bust.
The waistband is wide and can be tied at the back for extra emphasis on the waist. This also makes it easy to adjust at the waist. The fine A-line skirt falls beautifully to the knees.
The dress closes at the back with a zipper, and a small keyhole is fastened with a button at the neck.
The Dolores dress is in navy with fine medium-sized polka dots, which gives the dress a touch of extra vintage nostalgia.
- Wear the dress with a warm cardigan over it in the cooler months, for example from Emmy Design
- Lovely dress for both everyday wear and festive occasions with a bit of bling and nice shoes.
- V-neck allows you to showcase your favorite necklace.
Size guide:
- Our model Ingrid is 174 cm tall and wears the dress in size 8/XS. Christina in the polka dot dress is 174 cm tall and wears the dress in size 16/XL. Lastly, Katrine is 170 cm tall and wears the floral dress in size 18/2XL. All dresses are the same model but different color/print.
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.

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.

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.
