1930s Jitterbug Dress - Dia Deco Emerald - product shot

Jitterbug dances back into our Foxy world, one of our dreamiest day dresses - inspired by the stunning styles of the 1930s. This lovely piece, part of our Autumn collection, showcases a delightful contrast between a fresh new 'Dia Deco' emerald base print and the richness of racing green, resulting in a darling look that effortlessly transcends from city chic to country charm.

With it's marvellous details, this versatile dress captures the essence of a classic mid to late thirties silhouette look, offering a ‘wow’ factor that will turn heads wherever you go. Embrace the romance of the past with a modern twist - this is what timeless style dreams are made of!

1930s style is very much about 'detail' - shirring, pleats, gathers, bows and frills but put together elegantly and in ways to make the most of the feminine figure. The gorgeous plunging neckline hugs high into the back neck is created with pleats into the shoulder and feeds into rows of shirring below the bust. The pleats create plenty of room for differing bust sizes and hence protect one modesty.  You will love the bow which has a contrast lining - easy to remove too if you prefer.

We know how much sleeves are appreciated - so we put much effort into creating a flattering sleeve with plenty of vintage features. Sleeves reach just below elbow - pleated into the sleeve head and finished into the cuff with a vertical row of delicate gathers. Sleeve has plenty of room for varied arm widths.

Lastly, the bottom is our stretch heavy crepe - flattering in steel blue and has a lovely amount of swing at the hem but skims the waist and hip.

Side zip.

Key Features:-
- deep plunge neckline
- bow at centre front
- elbow length sleeves with shirring
- contrast skirt with print on upper bodice
- side zip

Made with love in Yorkshire, England!

Fabric: Upper is 100% viscose crepe  and lower is Poly/viscose crepe with a touch of spandex for stretch

Wonderfully flattering if you’re top heavy!

My first ever HOF purchase and I am delighted. I’m a UK size 18 on top and a UK size 12 on the bottom so my proportions get weird and top heavy looking easily! This dress balances my lower half beautifully. The skirt honestly is a little large on me but it hangs so well and really looks so beautiful due to the weight of the fabric there. I am 174 cm tall and the length hits at a flattering point below my knee. I doubt I could have got a better result from having it made for me, which is what I usually do, and have many years experience in well fitted clothes. The sewing is excellent, and the fabric looks incredibly original. The details of sleeves, gathers and necklines, just to name a few, are balanced and considered. The neckline is deep but not revealing as it has been designed to sit close together and not gape. It arrived beautifully presented and in very quick time. I could not have had a nicer shopping experience, thank you!

Beautiful dress

Beautiful feminine fluid dress, that drapes beautifully on a curvy body, lenghtening the silhouette. The clivage is not too deep. It feels like I could have probably sized down, but the extra room at the waist doesn't actually show. Both fabrics are of a nice quality and the colors are pretty.

Love the Diamond Deco pattern and and lovely green. This is a Christmas gift, I am sure she'll be thrilled!

Beautiful, Late 1930s Style Dress

This print in green is even lovelier in person. I am discerning when it comes to reproduction prints, but this one is very authentic. This cut is flattering on many figures. I have a pretty small bust in proportion to my waist measurement and it still fit really well. I purchased a Stanwyck Blazer in Racing Green color to pair with it---the set is brilliant!

Stunning shape!

I normally buy the Matha dress by HoF but I recently tried the Jitterbug and when I saw this colour way, I had to grab. It is such a beautiful and flattering shape with incredibly luxuries and quality fabric. I highly recommend grabbing this dress! You won’t be disappointed
