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.
