Buttonquail Dress - The Pears of Wrath

Your new favourite fall dress might just be Buttonquail!! It has a classic Birds cut with an easy-to-wear short sleeved top and knee length pleated skirt with pockets! Buttonquail closes with a back invisible zipper and is made of 100% cotton with a soft satin lining in the skirt of 96% polyester and 4% spandex. This dress can be washed on a cold, delicate cycle and hung to dry, and is available four beautiful cotton prints - Nightfall, Triffids, Quatrefoil, and The Pears of Wrath, shown here, which has a modest, Dust Bowl era country charm with its sage background and tan pears. Erika is 5' and wears our size 4. Buttonquail fits true to our size chart, which you can see here. This dress doesn't have any stretch. The skirt, from waist to hem on all sizes, measures 23.5". Finished measurements of the dress bust/waist/hip, and shoulder to hem length (in brackets), in inches, are as follows: 2 - 33 / 26 / 55 (39) 4 - 34 / 27 / 56 (39) 6 - 35 / 28 / 57 (39.5) 8 - 36 / 29 / 58 (39.5) 10 - 38 / 31 / 60 (40) 12 - 40 / 33 / 62 (40) 14 - 42 / 35 / 64 (40) 16 - 44 / 37 / 66 (40) 18 - 47 / 40 / 69 (40.5) 20 - 50 / 43 / 72 (41) Everything at Birds of North America is vegan and has been made ethically in Canada since we began in 2007.
