With a commitment to quality and attention to detail, this “Seamstress of Bloomsbury” Original reflects the authentic design of Lilian Wells. Lilian, the original “Seamstress of Bloomsbury,” created exquisite clothing pieces during the 1930s, 40s, and early 50s for London’s aristocracy. Despite the challenges of the Blitz and difficult circumstances, she never compromised on her craftsmanship and dedication. This range of 1940s clothing aims to honor her legacy and inspire others.
