The most incredible denim shirt ! I was worried about size without trying it on but using the measurements listed and photos shown I got the perfect size !! It’s so soft , and the colour is the perfect denim shade , I love I can roll the sleeves up and that’s where they stayed !
Perfection !!!
Beautiful light weight denim/chambray shirt. True to size. Perfect addition to my wardrobe. Worst part about it was deciding between the light and dark wash.
Love the colour, look and feel. Very versatile item. Wear it as a classic shirt, wear it over a dress as a light jacket, or open over a singlet/T-shirt great wardrobe staple.
If your thnking of buying this shirt - DO IT !!
Such a great shirt, light weight making it perfect as a trans-seasonal piece. So happy I brought this shirt ...
Absolutely looove this shirt. Pairs well with other denims, beige/white/navy/black pants and even tracksuit pants. The material feels amazing. Brought 1 and then had to purchase another when one was being washed. Highly recommend!
I love how lived in the shirt looks and the denim is so soft. The style is a perfect fit and can mix it and match with so many different outfits. It was definitely worth the wait until the new stock became available.
Love this shirt ! The fabric is soft and so comfortable to wear. The cut is flattering....great to wear buttoned up or open as a jacket. Love the cute detail of the top button sewn with a bright pop of colour.
Far more distressed than pictures indicate. The edge of the collar is tatty Nd the colour is much less bright than the pictures. More of a dirty denim colour. I’m disappointed.

Nice light weight denim shirt, fits beautifully and has a nice drape
Lovely fit! Soft, easy care material. Well tailored. I'll get much use out of this as a casual throw over and as a great shirt with skirts, shorts, and pants. I'm a size 14C bra, usually a size 12 in tops and this size 12 fits buttoned up comfortably with no pulling at the buttons. Colour is lovely, ever so slightly deeper/darker than pictured but tailoring supports great wear over time.
Love this Ava vintage shirt, I have a sleeveless one from a few years ago which I love and now have this one to add to my collection. It looks lovely with my Elka Denim skirt in white :)
Great shirt, lovely fabric drapes well, not heavy and thick. Great washed colour, not too long. A little on large size. I’m normally 12 to 14, purchased 14 but could have got a size 12. Versatile piece.
