This dress has been part of my collection for over five years, I remember picking her up as clear as day, something about that divine rust hue will live with me forever. She is a precious very early woven label Laura Ashley Made in Wales cotton dream, in the most magical of thick cottons. She has an insane silhouette with full sweeping skirt with contrasting panels and is an absolute dream come true.
This girl is approx UK size 8/10/12
Bust - 36"
Under Bust - 34"
Length - 54"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
She has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. Cold wash. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. She has a couple of marks, see images, these do not detract and are probably fade spots which is typical of LA dresses from this period. Her sleeves were once elasticated but it has perished, I did not feel confident to replace without damaging the fabric, so I have left them as a lovely flutter. All of this has been massively reflected in her price. This is truly a very rare find.
This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
