Meet Southern Belle, she is the most insane and iconic early-mid 80s holy grail rare Laura Ashley princess dream dress. This dress is honestly unbelievable and truly one of my best Laura Ashley finds to date. I have forever searched for one of these Laura Ashley dresses, it seemed impossible, until late last year like absolute magic one came my way.. I am so delighted to be sharing her with you! This beauty has the most insane cut with the fullest skirt with deep flounce and frill hem, her bodice is also divine, with a cinched in fitted cut with divine frill detailing and thick waist ties to cinch, she also has the most divine huge puffy sleeves. She has a soft pink base tone with delicate pastel watercolour style floral print and is truly a princess dream.
This dress is RARE and very very desirable. I hope she finds the best home.
