The Seamstress Of Bloomsbury The "Lucille" Pleated Skirt

Introducing the “Lucille” Pleated Skirt by The Seamstress Of Bloomsbury, the latest addition to our incredible skirt collection. This skirt is truly a sight to behold, featuring 22 expertly crafted pin stitched inverted pleats that gracefully flow from the waistline. It is designed with both style and practicality in mind, with an invisible side zip and a large Bakelite-style button for easy and secure waist fastening.

For those who adore vintage fashion and are dedicated to embracing the Authentic 1940s Style, the Lucille skirt is an absolute must-have. It is an exact reproduction of a classic 1940s item, made with impeccable integrity using the finest Rayon Crepe de Chine fabric, just like the originals. Not only is it beautifully lightweight and soft to the touch, but it also drapes flawlessly and requires minimal care. Simply hand wash or use the “Delicates” setting at 30 degrees in the machine.

This extraordinary piece is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that The Seamstress Of Bloomsbury is known for. Authored by Lilian Wells, the original “Seamstress of Bloomsbury,” who fashioned exquisite garments for London’s aristocracy throughout the 1930s, 40s, and early 50s. Despite the challenges of the Blitz and other unforeseen circumstances, Lilian never compromised on quality. She was a private yet remarkable woman, serving as an inspiration to us all. Through our range of 1940s clothing, we aspire to honor her legacy.
