Meet Beatrice, she is an absolutely STUNNING and PRECIOUS HOLY GRAIL RARE late 1970s Laura Ashley Made in Carno dress, jacket and sash ensemble. This is honestly a RARE find, LA dresses are rare enough, but to see a full set is something else. She is beautifully crafted in a lawn type cotton with an off white base and tiny rose print with touches of pink, and is adorned in beautiful lace detailing. She has a stunning super full double layered skirt, pin tuck bodice and nipped in waist to her dress, whilst her jacket is loose fitting and floaty, with gorgeous pin tuck detailing to her sleeves. This is a really precious find, and something to treasure in your wardrobes forever and ever, a true investment piece.. I have only ever seen one of these sets come for sale in the past and it sold immediately!
