Whether you are a reenactor or just admire the classic styles of the 1940's, you'll love this dress! Made directly from an original pattern dated 1939 in a high quality linen/rayon blend fabric. This style is amazingly unique for the time as it has a back zipper making it much easier to get on and off. The back tie feature allows for that but enables you to get the perfect fit every time of top of adding a beautiful bow detail. The fuller skirt is perfect for swing dances and pictures really don't do it justice!
As with our other clothing and accessories, this dress is made with true historical accuracy in mind.
Pattern size is 36 bust 30 waist.
*fabric is NOT prewashed* Machine wash gentle cold or hand wash then lay flat/ hang to dry or dry clean.
***item is not hemmed. This will allow you to have it done to perfectly suit you when it is worn***
Putting together a period appropriate wardrobe can be difficult and time consuming! We want to make it easier for you by offering accessories that you are assured are accurate. I include the original photo of the item and year of publication. Trying to find something in a color to perfectly match or contrast an outfit? We can help!! Why spend hours searching for a vintage piece that may not be in good shape just to worry about doing more damage by wearing it? As a re-enactor, I strive for the highest authenticity in my appearance as in my work. My work is the product of many years spent collecting patterns, time spent finding suitable materials and learning the correct construction techniques.
