This mesmerising 1940's dress, with a trailing floral pattern in shades of chartreuse, green and cream on a black silk background, is the perfect piece for your vintage wardrobe.
Her V shaped neckline is framed by a silk turned down collar, and smocking stitches along each shoulder line, that radiate into soft pleats along the yokes. Her short length sleeves, frame the fitted bodice. Her cinched in waistline, is accented by smocking stitches beneath the waist seam, to either side of the front of the peplum, radiating out into soft pleats. Her longline peplum cut, sits above a simple black silk skirt, completing this piece in an iconic 1940's silhouette.

Vintage garments have been previously worn and lovingly cared for, they may however have a blemish or two. Here at Willow Hilson, we try our very best to note all the details of each garment, although we may sometimes overlook things, which we do apologise for. Please do not expect perfection, unless stated so.
Please make sure you check all the measurements of the garment before purchasing. Vintage garment sizes are not the same as those of today. To ensure the best fit, we suggest you measure you favourite similar style garment and compare it to the measurements we have listed.
