The 1940s Tea Dress
If there's one dress that sums up the 1940s, it's the tea dress. Floral, flowing and demure, it emerged as a day dress in the 1920s, was refined in the 1930s and became iconic in the 1940s, when it was designed to be practical, versatile and economical with fabric. Our 1940s tea dress collection has the defining features: a defined waist, a sweetheart or V neckline, short sleeves and a flared skirt.
Wear yours with a cardigan and a beret for day, or a brooch and heels for the evening. Learn more in our deep dive into the 1940s tea dress, shop all 1940s dresses and tea dresses, or take a look at the 1940s style guide.
