1940s Martha Tea Dress - Spring Parade

And so, the Spring Parade begins…
With the return of 'Martha', a tea dress inspired by historical images and fashion books, she captures 1940s charm perfectly. Designed to give the illusion of blouse and skirt, she’s wonderfully versatile... the details on this dress make it so authentic and ever so flattering.

The bodice is cut in our new 'Spring Parade' an authentic floral drawn from an original vintage print. Soft coral pink, butter yellow, powder blue, and rich berry tones bloom across a warm cream ground, capturing the gentle femininity of the 1930s -1940s in a palette made for spring and summer.

The skirt is finished in our signature aubergine heavy twill, grounding the look with a touch of structure. A sweet collar and keyhole neckline are tied with delicate tasselled ties, wear fastened or left softly open.

Short sleeves are shaped with a subtle shoulder pad, creating that unmistakable 1940s silhouette.

This dress has been designed to be as faithful as possible to the 1940s styles. A slimming fit around the waist and a sweeping 7-gore skirt to float you through any dance.
