Autumn Check

Ā 

A fabulous and elegant 1940s Pinafore dress in wool blend.

One of the key aspects of the 1940s styles is its simple and elegant style lines. Designed as a base to embellish with any array of detail including flowers and jewellery, we've based this dress on a few examples we found that we wanted to recreate.

Dress has simple bodice with V neckline, perfect for wearing over blouses. Darts go diagonally from bustline into near waist. Shoulders are quite wide to emulate the 1940s broad shoulder look. Skirt is a good swing style in 4 panels to maximise fabric usage and has handy pockets in the side seam!

Back zip - unlined.

The fabric is a wool blend - which means it will crease a little and requires hand wash or dry clean.

Key Features Include:-
- simple bodice with v neckline
- back zip
- pockets
- 4 panel swing skirt

Wear with a myriad of our fabulous blouses - long or short sleeve to create a smashing 1940s look.

Made in Yorkshire, England.Ā 

Fabric:Ā 50% wool, 50% polyester
Length from natural waist:Ā approx 66cm/26inches
