1930s Loretta Bias Dress - Exotic

Step ‘Into the Exotic’…

We’re thrilled to welcome back Loretta - our foxy favourite 30s dress - now reimagined in the striking 'Exotic' print. Inspired by faraway escapes and vintage daydreams, this piece blends bold charm with timeless elegance.

A perfect style to carry you from sun-drenched summer days to the first golden hints of autumn, Loretta is all about effortless glamour, no matter the season.

Another exquisite 1930s style dress - inspired by a mid 1930s original and has some fantastic vintage features!

The 1930s was re-known for the bias cut, detailing and use of lighter fabrics such as silk, chiffon and georgette. We found this delightful rayon georgette in our signature 1930s poppy print and created this new amazing 1930s style around it. 

NB..We haven't included a slip with the Loretta this time - as many of you already have one BUT you can acquire one of luxury silk blend slips as part of a set price if you need one.

Neckline is a high cowl - seen in many styles in the mid 30s - and has shirring detail just below which creates fullness into shirring under the bust line. Skirt is bias cut and falls in flattering lines around the body. The only fastening required is a keyhole and button fastening at the back to get over the head. The rest of the dress is easily pulled over the head - tightened at the waist by the sash belt with cream bakerlite style art deco fastening. Sleeves are also very 1930s in style - gathered at the sleeve head and has gather detail in the cuff.

But wait! What about the slip? We have included a beautiful ivory underslip in soft viscose. This slip has been based on an original and again goes over the head and falls beautifully around the body due to its bias cut.

No zip - due to bias cut - pull over head. 

Key 1930s features include:-

- high cowl neckline 
- sleeves with gather detail 
- bias skirt
-  sash belt with art deco clasp
- low calf length - approx 87 cms from natural waist (NB: this will change depending on your own shape due to the bias nature of the garment)

Dry clean or cold hand wash - MUST dry flat due to bias panels.

Model is our UK 8 and 5'8" Tall

Fabric outer: 100% viscose crepe georgette.
