Did you know? Modal is a fabric with flattering drape and superb color saturation; it is derived from birch trees, harvested from a sustainable forest! It is created through a spinning process, much like rayon. Modal needs a fraction of the water of other fabrics in its processing - making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly fabric.
Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle. Hang to dry.
I really wanted to like this dress. I love the pattern (cut and style) and the color seemed perfect. However, the fabric was a bit flimsy, so everything sort of hung limply, the hem was uneven and the overall look was just not flattering. I think this style would work better made from fabric that holds its shape better, The colors were also a bit paler than in the photo. Overall, not satisfied. Returned it.

Soft and lovely

I have this style dress in rayon from a prior year but I like it even more in the modal fabric. Softer and more flowy.

Clover 1940s Dress
Posted by Janice on May 2nd 2025
I'm so happy to have this beauty! I love the color. It fits perfectly. The modal fabric is very lightweight but not see-through. I will be wearing a slip with mine. This is the third 1940s A.C. dress for me, and I sincerely hope this style continues to be offered.

Love the 1940s vintage look!

Love the vintage look of this style of dress. I have two just like it from previous seasons, but in different prints/material. This dress is unusual and flattering tied loosely at the back. Everyone at church goes crazy for this style when I wear it! I like the soft orange color of this one - orange isn't normally my color as I have reddish hair, but this particular orange is quite soft and flattering. AC, please keep making this 1940s peplum style :)
