And the award for the pinkest and most wild Laura Ashley is most certainly going to this girl! I've seen this dress shape in a few colours, but never shocking barbie pink! This dress shape dates to the late 70s, and was made in Carno, Wales.
She has a regency cut, with high waist, scoop neckline with frilled edging and puff sleeves. Her skirt is full with beautiful frill and pintuck detailing at her hem, and she is just the coolest thing ever.
She is crafted from a thick cotton sateen with slight sheen, and when worn this beauty is going to run the town..
Measures to approx UK size 10/12
Bust - up to 35" - 36"
Waist - 31" - does sit high
Length - 56"
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. Her waist sash is sadly missing, this has been reflected in her price.
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.
