New 1940s Dresses

For all of you lovers of floral dresses we have finally listed all our fabulous 1940s floral dresses.
They are perfect to wear as a day dress and for more glamorous events as well. You could wear them to Goodwood or Ascot, and even to the fantastic Twinwood Festival that is coming up in August.

They have the right 40s vintage style with a sarong cut and a bit of a puffed shoulder to give more shape, and are made from a Crepe de Chine fabric that never creases.
The more exotic fabrics are ideal for a wedding on the beach; and are the favorite designs of our designer Vivien.
