Meet Tawny, she is a beautiful and rare holy grail dream by Laura Ashley, early 70s and made in wales.. This beauty is just a piece of heaven, she has a very soft rusty hue with delicate scribbly floral print, a gorgeous cut with dagger collar, stunning cuffed sleeves, full skirt and pintuck detailing.. When worn this dress is a piece of pure magic, she sings autumn and is something to treasure forever..
This girl measures to approx UK size 6/8, possibly a small 10
Bust - up to 35"
Waist - 27"
Length - 54"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
She has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. This dress came to me needing some restoration, she had been shortened, so I have let her back down to her authentic length, and this has left a light fade mark around her skirt, this is not too noticeable, and if preferred she could be shortened to hide this, but I fully think she is wearable and gorgeous as is. Inside her skirt to one seam, it seems as if she has been damaged slightly, but again, this is not noticeable, can not be seen and when worn as does not affect wear. She is a gorgeous dress with plenty of life left, and this has been heavily reflected in her price. See images below.
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.
