Meet Emerald, she is a beautiful 1980s velvet Laura Ashley dress in a beautiful shade of green. She has a gorgeous waistline and a super full skirt and a gorgeous neckline. She has sweet cap sleeves and a beautiful working button closure back. This beauty is one of those dresses to own in your wardrobe and wisk out for occasions, and will always look beautiful and stylish. She is also the ultimate festive dress!

This girl measures to approx UK size 10.

Bust - 36"

Waist - 28"

Length -  52"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Emerald 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.

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.

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
