'Girl Friday' 1940s style dress
rust
A beautiful combination of craftsmanship, authenticity, and feminine elegance from The House of Foxy.
The beautiful Girl Friday dress features an extremely flattering cut inspired by early 1940s fashion, where higher necklines were paired with strong shoulders and a beautifully nipped-in waist.
The short sleeves have gentle fullness and a defined shoulder shape, enhanced by gathers at the sleeve head and a discreet shoulder pad – perfectly true to the era.
The high neckline drapes softly and is finished with a delicate keyhole button fastening at the back. The skirt has a classic 1940s length, falling gracefully below the knee on most (approx. 71 cm / 28 inches from the natural waist). It is cut in seven panels for a beautiful flow, fully lined, and fastens with a side zip.

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.
