I am utterly delighted to present to you this wonderful 1940s frock from Puttin' On The Ritz. If you've never had any clothing tailor made for you, I recommend you treat yourself, and what better place to start than with The Big Band dress, new from Puttin' on the Ritz's Summer collection.
The Big Band dress is based on an original 1940s dress pattern and is made from 100% light cotton fabric. As well as this superb red it is also available in cream, pale yellow, coral pink, pistachio green, and dresden blue. It has a gently puffed sleeve, button to the waist front, and darling little belt. The colour is so unbelievably vibrant and reminds me of when you see footage of the 1940s in colour, and people's clothes look extra bright as you are used to seeing them in black and white.
I couldn't help but accesorize mine with my parasol, and not just because it matched nicely, (but because the searing sun was burning holes in my retinas.) But, this frock is truely perfect for every occasion. It works well for the day, in the office, a promenade through the park, maybe a little jitterbug or even a stroll by moonlight....
Big Band dress £95.00
Many thanks to the wonderful Hanson Leatherby for his photographic talents
