Meet Candy, she is a beautiful and coveted early 80s Laura Ashley cotton beauty, in a dreamy blue and white candy stripe. This dress is a true beaut and this particular Laura Ashley is always a popular one, She has a square neckline, puff sleeves, full gathered skirt and a nipped in flattering waist. Like all Laura Ashley dresses she is wonderfully crafted in such an amazing quality cotton. I hope she heads to the best home today.
This girl measures to approx UK size 8/10
Bust - up to 36" - 37"
Waist - 29"
Length - 50"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
The Candy 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. She does have fade across both sleeves, see photos, to be honest this is barely noticeable, and she does have other areas of slight fade. My pink version of this dress sold for £160 in 2021, so this beauty is a true steal.
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.
