Description

The stunning and forever popular 1945 Peggy Wrap dress.
With the tie around the waist for easy comfortable fitting and tiny box pleats at the waistband, it creates a beautiful body shape and fit.
Our wrap dresses are extremely versatile. From petite sizes to maternity wear, there is a Peggy Wrap dress for everyone.
This dress finishes 2” below the knee and is made in 40's Rayon Crepe de Chine fabric, which is easy to care for, too.
This fabric is a 100% natural fibre so no synthetic yarn or Lycra in this garment.
Our review...Gorgeous! Green is a notoriously difficult colour to buy online but this is a lovely medium-deep green and not Forest Green. Very pretty in the light and perfect for work, autumn or for when you want understated elegance.

It's London 1939 and England is on the brink of World War II…… Aged 14, Lilian Wells is apprenticed to a Bloomsbury dressmaker. She has little education but can already draw and paint and hand sew and embroider as if she were professionally trained. It is her natural gift. As she masters the seamstress’s art, her life seems to be clearly mapped out - she will sew beautiful frocks for the aristocratic families that inhabit the mansions around Bloomsbury Square.… we are extremely privileged to have known Miss Lilian Wells, to have worked with her, and to acknowledge the tradition of her skills …… and now, in keeping with her wishes, we revive her original 1940’s patterns and designs … and are pleased we can share them with you.
