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

The 1930s was reknown for the bias cut, detailing and use of ligher 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. It also gave us the opportunity to create the perfect vintage style slip which is also bias with bust shaping to ensure the vintage silhouette is retained (modern slips dont have this anymore)

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.

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)

*No slip - please see option to include a silk blend luxe slip. 

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

Fabric outer: 100% viscose crepe georgette.

Made in Yorkshire, England

Badly made

Sorry, it’s a cute dress. But it looks like it was made for Temu. No threads clipped, so there’s loose thread ends 5cms + hanging all over, the button loop doesn’t align with the button, raw elastic ends left to fray, hem is just overlocked and turned up and totally uneven and not even caught in places. Some seams the thread has run out and the stitcher hasn’t gone back over the seam so there are just random parts left unsewn. I expect more for the steep price - the fabric and design is nice but it is not worth $346 AUD plus postage.

Also in general there is no seam allowance in House of Foxy clothing. Like overlocking width only so 5mm. The seams bust easily and it means nothing is alterable… Please, please consider giving more seam allowance - the beautiful designs deserve being made in a quality that will last. Till then I’m not gonna purchase any more, sorry :(

Dear Charlotte,

Ouch indeed — a Temu comparison is a real sting for our small hand-made business! We're so sorry to hear this as this is certainly not the Foxy standard, and not what we’d expect from one of our lovingly handmade pieces.

We’ve had no trace of any reach-out to our customer services lines since about this issue since your order in May 2024, so we’re sorry to see you’ve sat on this for so long. This really does sound like a faulty Loretta that we'd have accepted full responsibilty for repairing or refunding.

Please do pop us a message at hello@thehouseoffoxy.com - we’d love the chance to make it right and investigate this further for you❤️

With warmest wishes,
Team Foxy

Exactly what I'd hoped for...

This dress works well. It fits as expected given the size chart and fit advice. Really nice set, I just wish it were offered in other colorways for the extended sizes. I love this fabric print, but I have two other outfits made from it and would love more variety.
