The Seamstress of Bloomsbury: The Rosie Dress.

It is with great delight that we present the Rosie dress, by famed London designer vintage reproduction brand, The Seamstress of Bloomsbury. This glorious 1940s style dress is cut from an authentic original 1940s pattern, originally designed by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury, in wartime London.

The vintage style authenticity flows from striking cut to sublime fabric; the custom made Viscose Crepe de Chine is lightweight, soft, and so easy to care for, and lends itself perfectly to the swinging skirt and dance floor lines of this delightful 40s style dress.

With a fitted bodice, and a floaty skirt that falls to just below the knee, showing off a seductive length of leg - don't forget those seamed stockings to complete your look! Stylish contrast shoulders, and features front button fastening, together with a curve defining fabric tie belt to the waist.

Available in a range of colours and prints, all true to the style of the wartime era.

The Seamstress of Bloomsbury dresses are dedicated to the late designer, Miss Lillian Wells, who worked at Hamilton House during the Second World War, and earned the title The Seamstress of Bloomsbury with her exquisite sewing skills. Her work was admired and sought after by many great Aristocratic families and Royalty from around the world, and these dresses are the glorious revival of her 1940s patterns and designs.
