The pattern for our popular Floral Tribute dress was taken directly from an original rationed 11011 or "double elevens" dress, and is a flattering quintessentially 1940s shape. The patchwork print features a carefully replicated original 40s design from an old bale of fabric in our archive. Shades of green, coral, blue and yellow contrast strikingly with the black and white to make this dress a breeze to coordinate.
