40s Homefront Tea Dress - Ruby Bloom
Another faithful reproduction 1940s dress based on a CC41 original and packed with stunning authentic vintage details. Part of the 2024 Goodwood Revival Collection, this is a stunning, authentic 1940s inspired Tea Dress perfect for the famous vintage car festival.
A winning combination of experienced and authentic pattern cutting with attention to detail and topped off with a vintage style fabric that behaves as it should. Another dress that we have not held back on detail with.
This is a very flattering cut which is heavily based on a CC41 style from the designers own collection. The neckline style combined with the sleeves creates the a classic wartime, early 1940s silhouette..
Dress has a demure 'squared' neckline enhanced by faux bow/tab sections on each shoulder (perhaps not very clear on the photo). Gathers under bust creates a flattering line into a slimming fit around the waist through the fitted waistband. With a sweeping 7-gore skirt to float you through any tea dance.
Sleeves are extra special.... VERY late 30s/40s design in order to reflect the strong shoulder styles of the time. Gathered at the sleeve head and designed with a slight pouch created by 3 stitched tucks. Shape of neckline & sleeves create the silhouette aspired to in the late 30s and early 40s where there was an emphasis on the shoulders.
Perfect for Goodwood Revival and beyond, we've created this stunning collected in homage to the annual British vintage car racing festival.
