Navy Blue And White 1940s Day Dress With Large Floral Print

Bold 1940s Navy Floral Day Dress With Leaf Print

A striking example of 1940s dressing, this day dress is crafted in a flowing fabric printed with an oversized leaf and floral design in cream against a deep navy ground. The softly tailored shirt collar, fitted bodice and gently shoulders lead into a nipped waist, while the skirt falls into a beautifully fluid, flowing line.

Finished with statement button detailing at the bodice and pockets, this dress combines the practicality of a classic day dress with real visual impact. The bold scale of the print and the fluidity of the fabric make it feel as fresh today as it would have on the day it was made.
