Our new spring 2019 colourway for our best selling tea dance dress - named after wartime pinup 'Betty Grable'. This colourway is a stunning berry crepe on the skirt paired with our seasonal print 'Pixie' on the upper bodice.
This is the perfect dress for dancing! A most becoming dress with a demure tie neckline - softly shirred into shape with shoulder yokes and gathered under the bust.
This dress has been designed to be as faithful as possible to the 1940s styles. A slimming fit around the waist with elegant short sleeves with a touch of shirring and a sweeping 7-gore skirt to float you through any dance.
New flutter style sleeves that drape the shoulder make this dress perfect for dancing as they do not restrict the upper arm at all.
Fully lined bodice, side zip.
Fabric: The top is a lovely quality crepe 100% rayon in our signature 'Pixie' print paired with a berry top quality stretch crepe. Fabric gathers beautifully into yokes and under bust. The bottom fabric is a poly/rayon mix with a touch of spandex and means it will stretch a little to accommodate waist variances.
Key Features Include:-
- keyhole neckline with tie
- gathers into shoulder yokes and under bust
- sweeping 7-gore skirt
- side zip
- flutter sleeves with whip stitch
Proudly made in the UK
Fabric: 100% rayon on top half with poly/rayon/spandex mix bottom

This dress is free fitting on hips due to the swing skirt and skims the waist. The bust area is fairly generous but is more fitted than it looks. It is also very fitted under the bust.
Style suits pear shapes, hourglass and pillar most.
Pixie fabric has no stretch in it.

I now have 5 of these Grable dresses, they are comfortable to wear. I am a plus size with a larger bust and also larger arms. The generous fit of the top section and floaty sleeves is perfect for me. The material is nice and light and the pattern is very pretty. The shape of this dress is flattering for most shapes. The material is light and feels like crepe.
Beautiful dress. Very flattering - gives an hour glass figure. Lovely colours, my first garble dress but it won’t be the last!
