A holy grail treasure if there ever was one, in ALL of my many years being a vintage curator, I have never came across another of these. She is a rare 70s Laura Ashley made in wales cotton bohemian dream dress. Crafted in a stunning light cotton with delicate small bird print, this dress is remarkable. She has a free fitting silhouette with ties that wrap around the body to cinch, a frill neckline, beautiful sleeves and the most wafty silhouette. Sourced from the original owner who told me of many fond memories wearing through the 70s. She has a stunning soft dusky blue colour with natural fade, and simply is a rare and precious find to behold.
This girl is free size up to a UK 16
Bust - up to 50"
Waist - FREE
Length - 60"
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. See lower skirt fade, previous owner had hemmed for years then let back down. This only adds to the charm.
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.
