Would this dress be ok?

Hope this link works better: bit.ly/2dKFJPH. If this dress isn't suitable- any ideas for one that would be? Tall, curvy apple

Its a gorgeous dress but it doesn't scream 1940s to me.

This sort of thing does though.

Wow, that's some long link.
Or maybe something like:

Remember that fashion in London is often a lot more low key and casual than elsewhere. What is the bar? I may be wrong, but I would guess that it's highly unlikely that anyone else will be dressed in 40s attire, or even particularly dressed up at all!

It's cahoots

Oh ignore the miserable Londoners and dress up

I agree that dress doesn't scream 40s but if you added 40s style hair and make up, then I think it could work.

The first dress would work with 40s hair and makeup. Or something like this - theseamstressofbloomsbury.co.uk/shop/peggy-wrap-dress/.
Sorry - link hasn't worked! They make dresses to pretty authentic vintage patterns. Have fun!

Firstly, cahoots is brilliant, you'll have a brilliant time! But honestly, just wear something that makes you feel fabulous. If that's in the theme then absolutely go for it! If it's not it really really won't matter.

If you have a bit of money to splash, I would get something from here
www.nancymac.co.uk
and you could wear it again for other occasions. I bought one for a wedding recently and felt fabulous! Gorgeous dresses :)

Check out Pretty Eccentric. Sorry can't do a link.

Oh, here you go!

For lower cost, perhaps a tea dress from Lindy Bop would work.

Thanks all, nancymac is beautiful but too expensive, pretty eccentric
Looks spot on. I want to dress up- even if I do look like a country hick!

I have a few lindybop dresses and they're lovely for the money you pay. I also have some from here: www.thehouseoffoxy.com/1940s-fashion
They're also really lovely
