Evelyn wears this peach 1940s dress to an afternoon garden party, where the scent of roses lingers in the air and every detail of her outfit whispers timeless charm.
The Details
Crafted from silky-soft rayon with plenty of stretch, this dress flatters the figure with thoughtful 1940s tailoring. Delicate shirring at the waist and shoulders adds structure and subtle shape, while tiny shoulder pads create that iconic mid-century silhouette — strong yet feminine.
The long sleeves feature shirred half cuffs, fastened with clear plastic buttons that echo through the design — you'll find matching buttons in a charming bow detail at the neckline. The front is lined across the bust, full coverage back with a peephole opening at the nape, fastened with a small plastic dome button.
The Finishing Touches
The dress zips up the back with ease and has shirring to cinch the waist just right. The fit is comfortable yet refined, perfect for everything from golden-hour strolls to silver screen moments.
Though time has gently touched this piece — with slight fading, a few tiny holes, and some minor marks — These could be carefully covered with lace pieces.
