1940s Wrap dress
navy with Floral Dancer print
1940s style wrap dress in navy from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
The super popular wrap dress that can be worn for all occasions.
The cut of the dress leaves room for the bust and emphasizes the waist, while the fine lapel collar frames the neck and face beautifully.
This elegant dress closes simply with a tie and is easily adjusted to your liking. The short sleeves make the dress super versatile as a summer dress or in other seasons with a cropped cardigan.
The dress is made in Bloomsbury's signature fabric 'rayon crepe de chine' which gives the dress just the right vintage look while falling beautifully over the hips and thighs.
The print is the super delicate floral print with subtle little dancing fairy girls that blend into the bouquet as part of the pattern. A feminine and vintage inspired pattern on a navy background.
- Style the dress up with heels and a hair updo.
- Wear the dress all year round with tights and a cardigan.

Our beautiful model Naja is 158 cm tall and wears the dress in size XS.
Material: 100% rayon crepe de chine
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.
