The Ava Tea Dress is a timeless 1930s inspired dress in a beautiful 30s/40s vintage print. Featuring chartreuse gold leaves on a navy background, this pretty dress is effortlessly elegant.
The Ava Tea Dress combines top quality craftsmanship, authentic 1930s features and vintage style fabric. The attention to detail is just stunning. The flattering cut is influenced by the the late 1930s dress styles worn from 1938 and into the wartime period. This dress has been carefully designed to be as faithful as possible to these styles.
The Ava Tea Dress has a high back neckline which allows the deep plunging cross over neckline to remain demure and not too revealing. The bodice of the dress has authentic detailed gathers into the shoulder and top stitched. The sweet cap sleeves hug the shoulder and create an elegant silhouette as well. Gathers under the bust also create a flattering line into a fitted waistband. This dress also features a sweeping 7-gore skirt, designed to float you through any tea dance.
This dress also features a size zip and a woven viscose lined skirt. We really cannot over complement the quality of construction of this dress.
Finally, the fabrics is a mid weight 100% rayon (viscose) and as such gathers beautifully into yokes and under bust. It is similar to the fabrics worn at this time.
Proudly made in the UK
Fabric: 100% Viscose throughout
Washing instructions: dry clean only. Dry cleaning is recommended due to the bias cut panels in the skirt & skirt lining which can become misshapen after washing and in particular line drying.

1950s Jeanies Pedal Pushers
These jeans are non-stretch. We recommend that your measure yourself and check against the size chart before ordering. Please measure your actual waist, just below your rib cage for an accurate measurement.
The waist measurement is the most important to get right. We only recommend ordering a size up if you have a very big difference between your waist and hip measurement.
These jeans should feel snug on the first wear and they will give. Don’t be tempted to order up for room- they will be too big after the first wear.
Fit advice – if when you try them on the crotch is hanging too low then the size is too big. Please let us know straight away after trying them on and we can exchange them for you.
These are sized by waist – please double check the size chart though as they can vary slightly. We have included a UK size equivalent on the size chart as a guide only. Again, we cannot stress enough that you should measure and check against the size chart. We promise it is worth it though – if you are anything like us, once you get the correct size you won’t want to wear any other brand of jeans!
