The 1940s gave us a cornucopia of glamorous, well-made, and whimsical dresses. Tea dresses with button-down details at the top, nipped-in waist, and slightly flared skirts were all the rage.
With the timeless charm of 1940s fashion, it is no surprise that many still incorporate it in their day-to-day outfits. One of them is Myleene Klass.
Myleene Klass leaving the ITV Summer Party held at a private house in Notting Hill, London, on July 17, 2013
Myleene was wearing a lovely red tea dress inspired by the ’40s during the ITV Summer Party at Notting Hill. Upon closer inspection, you’ll see that the dress has a quirky print of cards and dice that matched the charm of the dress’ form, which hugged Myleene’s trim figure.
This piece is actually from Myleene’s own fashion collection. Aside from being a singer and a presenter, the former Hear’Say member also designs dresses. Her collection is quite eclectic, ranging from retro-inspired dresses to edgier frocks.
This is actually one of our favorites from her collection. It would look perfect with vintage-style shoes and a 1940s hairdo.
