The Spinel, she is a true romantic dream. She has the most stunning silhouette, with super full skirt, frill cuffs and a square neck with low back. This dress is extremely rare and special, she is one of our favourite cuts of Laura Ashley. Her print is a delicate trellis style floral, so so so beautiful.
This girl measures to approx UK size 10/12.
Bust - 36"
Waist - 30"
Length - 55"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
The Spinel 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 does have some wear which has been heavily reflected in her price, she has some fading in places, and a patch of discolouring to her skirt, which is so common with Laura Ashley dresses, it seems to be something to do with the dye used, she also has a small sewn up mend to her skirt. This has all been heavily reflected in her price. To be honest when worn it won't really be noticeable, she is still super gorgeous and so special. Her wear only adds to her charm.... see last two photos for more.
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.
