This beaut is an absolutely stunning precious and holy grail rare late 1970s Laura Ashley made in Dublin romantic cotton prairie dream dress, sadly this one has had her tags cut, but I can 100% verify her authenticity. I rarely see this dress crop up and have always searched for her, and I know she is extremely coveted among collectors, she is a really unusual and rare example of Lauras romantic work in the late 70s and truly is an iconic piece. She has a regency style cut with cap puff sleeves, high waist and round frilled neckline. She has waist ties to cinch the waist and a stunning flowing skirt. The thing I truly love the most about this girl is her gorgeous lilac colour and print, its kind of like a hand drawn floral wreath print, and truly is divine. I hope this dress finds the absolute best home, I know she will be so loved..
This girl is approx UK size 6/8/10
Bust - 36"
Waist - 32" does sit high
Length - 59"
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. A few tiny fade spots in places, not noticeable and do not detract. This has been reflected in her price, the last version of this dress I sourced sold for £250.
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.
