xShe's earned her place as a true icon. The Girl Friday is back, more radiant than ever. Now crafted in luxe satin, she brings a touch of elevated glamour to our best-loved 40s dress. In sensual sage green this is just the kind of extra-special we adore at Foxy!
A winning combination of top quality craftmanship combined with a plethora of authentic features. Prepare to feel like a princess!
A super flattering cut based on early 1940s styles - where the higher neckline became fashionable. This dress has been designed to be as faithful as possible to these styles. This is a silhouette with a strong shoulder shape which we have enhanced by the sleeve design style, shoulder pad and a high neckline.
You will notice the lovely style details of the shirring at the shoulder and the pleats under the bust that flow into the V shape waist panel. This has a real figure enhancing effect.
By popular demand, we have made this in a longer 'midi' length - approx 91cm from waist. This 7 panel skirt has a lovely sweep and is designed to finish above the ankle on most - wear with your best shoes! We've kept this dress unlined to keep the overall weight down - you may choose to wear a slip underneath.
Key Features Include:-
- high neckline with back keyhole detail
- shirring detail shoulder & pleats under bust
- short sleeves with tuck at cuff and gathers into shoulder
- small shoulder pad
- longer (91cm) 7-gore skirt
- side zip
- unlined
The fabric is a mid weight 100% rayon satin (viscose) and as such gathers beautifully into yokes and under bust - is similar to the fabrics worn at this time.
Made with love in Yorkshire, England
