1940s Marian Tea Dress in Marguerite

Introducing our latest 1940s tea dress! Marian is a romantic autumn day dress, drawn from icons like Veronica Lake, it captures timeless femininity and a touch of whimsy!

Design is 1940s inspired with some creative licence thrown in. The neckline and sleeves have the most detail being gathered and top stitched in several areas to create a lovely demure sweetheart neckline. Despite the huge amount of work required to create this and ensure it is symmetrical - we really wanted to bring this really authentic 1940s shape to you. It super flatters the bust and creates a stunning silhouette. 

Dress has loose sleeves that gather into the shoulder and gather into an stretch cuff covering the upper arm and elbow.

Gathered under the bust - this flows into the V shape waist panel and has a stunning figure enhancing effect. 

Has a V shaped back with back zip for ease.

Key Features Include:-
- sweetheart neckline 
- gathering and top stitch above and below bust
- loose sleeves with button cuff and gathers 
- 7-gore skirt
- side zip
- unlined

The fabric is a mid weight 100% rayon (viscose) and as such gathers beautifully into yokes and under bust - is similar to the fabrics worn at this time. 

Made with love in Yorkshire, England

Fabric: 100% Viscose throughout
Washing instructions: dry clean only (we recommend dry cleaning due to the bias cut panels in the skirt which can become mis-shapen after washing and in particular line drying)
