1940s Wrap dress
red 'pansy' print
Classic vintage style wrap dress in red with a simple floral print from Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
The beautiful versatile bestselling dress, now in a new and beautiful floral print.
The stunning cut of the dress gives room for the bust and emphasizes the waist. The fine lapel collar frames the neck and face beautifully.
The Slåom dress is fitted at the waist and the fine tie band puts extra focus on the waist while adjusting to your personal fit.
The short sleeves make the dress easy to wear all year round, both in summer and in the cooler months, it can be worn with a cardigan without the sleeves getting in the way.
The material gives the dress a beautiful drape and a very authentic vintage look!
The material is The Seamstress of Bloomsbury's signature fabric, a natural material that feels soft and breathable!
- Suitable for all occasions: dress it up with a pair of vintage pumps and red lipstick and dress it down with a pair of flats and neutral makeup!
- Wear the wrap dress in winter with thick socks and a cardigan and in summer with bare legs and sandals.
- It's also the perfect wrap dress for summer beach trips as it's easy to put on and take off and the fabric dries quickly! And it doesn't take up much space in your bag.
Tip: When trying this on, 1. Pull one side 'firmly' across the chest when closing. 2. Tie the ribbon around the waist twice and then tie a bow at the side. This way the collar will sit nicely and the dress will not open.
Material: 100% Rayon Crepe. No stretch!
For products made in Rayon Crepe fabric, we suggest that you care for the garment in the same way as you would for original 40s clothing.
We recommend that you hand wash the garment as it was done in the 1940s, although today you can dry clean it instead if you wish!
It's best not to dry clothes in direct sunlight or in an excessively hot place (like over a radiator) as this can cause the natural material to expand and subsequently shrink.
If you accidentally wash or dry your garment too hot, try the following method to regain the original size and fit. Although this is not guaranteed to work, it may help!
1. Soak the garment in cold water with a very generous amount of fabric conditioner and leave it overnight.
2. 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.
3. 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.
