1940s Grable Tea Dress - Summer Spray
A Foxy favourite and best seller - named after 1940s wartime pinup 'Betty Grable'.
What do we love about Grable? Not only is she THE most flattering empire line style creating the classic 1940s silhouette. This dress is comfy, versatile AND could be the perfect dress for dancing!
A most becoming dress with a demure tie neckline which can be tied to create a keyhole or left open for a more casual look. The contrast bodice is made in our summer spray print and as was common in the 1940s - gives the look of a blouse and skirt but with the ease of a dress. Upper is 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 subtle gathers into the sleeve head and a sweeping 7-gore skirt made in our red heavy crepe 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.
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
Made with love in Yorkshire, England
Fabric: 100% rayon on top half with poly/rayon/spandex mix bottom
Washing instructions: cool hand wash or dry clean
Length from natural waist: approx 26 inches
