The Seamstress of Bloomsbury

The Seamstress of Bloomsbury is an English heritage womenswear brand focused on 1930s and 1940s fashion. The Seamstress of Bloomsbury is renowned for 1940s-style dresses and blouses crafted from crepe de chine fabric, offered in a wide range of prints and colours.

The brand takes its name from the story of Lilian Wells, who began her career as an apprentice seamstress at a dressmaker's workshop in Bloomsbury, London, in 1939. During her time there, she earned a reputation for exceptional talent and craftsmanship, creating garments for aristocracy and royalty from across the globe. It was this recognition that led to her being affectionately known as ‘The Seamstress of Bloomsbury’, a title that the brand proudly carries today by reviving her original 1940s patterns and designs in her honour.
