A modern take on a traditional staple, so wonderfully tailored and crisp and gorgeous you’ll never reach for another blue shirt dress ever again. The Ava shirt dress, in the loveliest of blue hues, from one of our all-time favourites, Harriet Eccleston.
Crafted in 100% British cotton, a beautiful twill weave that gives the shirt its soft yet strong shape and elegant drape. With a relaxed, oversized silhouette and a split hem falling at mid shin, the Ava features a striking sculpted collar which frames the neck while the deep 'V' pleat adds detail and movement to the back. You can button down centre opening highlighted with adaptable tags that give you the option to pull the waist in. The sleeves fall below the elbow making it cofortable and easy to wear with pockets found in the side seam.
Harriet Eccleston's mission is deeply rooted in her family's legacy of impeccable craftsmanship and quality tailoring. Inspired by generations of tailors, drapers, and milliners, she aims to continue this tradition with a reimagined and innovative 21st-century point of view. In a world of fast fashion, Harriet seeks to reintroduce the value of treasuring meticulously crafted pieces that tell their own stories.
Each garment is handcrafted and made to order, consciously produced with materials and processes that respect people and the planet, designed in seasonless styles in quality fabrics, meant to be loved and cherished and long-worn. All items are individually crafted in Derbyshire, with British Cotton picked in California, spun in Dukinfeild, dyed in Blackburn, and woven in Burnley.

Britain’s decision to leave the EU means significantly increased admin & shipping costs. Whilst we have passed on as little cost as possible to our customers, unfortunately, we have had to impose a minimum order value of £200 for orders from the EU. We are very sorry for this.
