The Seamstress of Bloomsbury

"`The seamstress of Bloomsbury` was the nickname of Lillian Wells, who began sewing in 1939, when she, at 14 years old, apprenticed to a tailor in Bloomsbury. It is her original sewing patterns from the 1940s that form the basis for the fine dresses, skirts and shirts that `The seamstress of Bloomsbury` designs today."

    I bought a dress that fully lived up to the description and pictures when I received it. I used the measurement chart to get the right size.
    There were also no problems when I had to return an item.
