Reason for Make Do & Mend:

Top button needs replacing. Spare buttons available with the dress.

The ‘Ava’ is one of the most stunning Dresses The Seamstress of Bloomsbury have ever made, it has pretty gauged in top yoke detail and beautiful sleeves which puff out fully at the cuff.  And it has little covered buttons at the front which are fully functional, and  a tie back belt to adjust the waistline, this is a firm 40’s favourite. The carefully designed cut creates a fabulously curvy silhouette and the authentic rayon crepe de chine fabric is soft to the touch, easy care too, and a 100% natural fabric, no synthetic fibres in this garment.
