1940s Style Shirt Waister Dress in ‘Marguerite’ Print – Daisy Dapper

A true 1940s classic – feminine, elegant and timeless

This beautiful 1940s inspired shirt waister dress is the very essence of vintage charm. Based on original 1940s patterns and photographs, it recreates the authentic silhouette of the era — practical, elegant and endlessly flattering.

The dress features the iconic shirt-style bodice with a shoulder yoke and soft gathers above the bust, falling gracefully into the waist. The shape beautifully enhances the figure, while the matching sash belt cinches the waist to create that classic 1940s hourglass silhouette.

The authentic shirt collar can be buttoned right up for a true wartime look or worn open for a softer, more relaxed feel. The buttons are exquisite reproductions of 1930s Art Deco designs, adding a refined vintage touch.

The skirt has a gentle flare that allows for graceful movement, and, in true 1940s style, there’s no zip – the dress buttons below the waist, just like the originals. Discreet shoulder pads complete the authentic 1940s silhouette, adding structure and elegance.

This limited edition version comes in the stunning ‘Marguerite’ print – perfect for autumn and designed to be dressed up or down with ease. A must-have piece for every vintage wardrobe.
