Mabel 1940s dress
black
1940s style dress in black with sarong effect from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
Elegant vintage style dress from the Seamstress of Bloomsbury, inspired by authentic 1940s style patterns.
The dress has a fine V-neckline and small decorative buttons down to the waist decorate the front beautifully.
Wrinkles at the shoulders and seams under the bust give a beautiful and fitted fit.
The short sleeves are also slightly gathered with a few small decorative buttons at the bottom that match the buttons on the front.
The dress is beautifully fitted and has a sewn-in ribbon that ties at the back so you can adjust the waistband to your individual figure.
The skirt of the Mabel dress has a wonderful sarong/waterfall effect that falls beautifully and flatteringly down the hips and thighs, and the soft pleats and gathers highlight the feminine curves.
This is a stunning vintage style dress made with an eye for all the lovely 1940s details.
The Mabel dress is made from rayon crepe de Chine in classic.

Size guide:
- The Mabel dress from The Seamstress of bloomsbury is a little on the large side.
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.
