1930s Loretta Bias Dress - Liquorice
The exquisite mid 1930s 'Loretta' dress produced in sumptuous liquorice dark velvet - a little stunner perfect for the party season.
Our liquorice is a deep dark black with a tint of chocolate brown in different lights. This luxe velvet is everything!
When we decided to have a 'play' with velvet - we thought we'd just try it in the gorgeous Loretta dress which is usually produced in lighter weight fabrics. When it turned out like this - we just had to offer it to you too!
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 lovely diamante style art deco fastening. Sleeves are also very 1930s in style - gathered at the sleeve head and has gather detail in the cuff.
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 77 cms from natural waist (NB: this will change depending on your own shape due to the bias nature of the garment)
Dry clean.
Fabric outer: viscose/poly blend velvet
Made in Yorkshire, England
