Meet the Swan, she is a BEAUTIFUL and RARE 1980s thick cotton dream dress by Laura Ashley. This dress looks sort of simplistic on the mannequin.. BUT, when worn these dresses look insane. The cut is just out of this world, with a fitted structured bodice with princess waistline, huge mutton sleeves and a full skirt. Her gorgeous thick cotton has a subtle moire texture and she has a button back closure and divine button cuffs too.. I just know when this dress finds the right home, she is going to be so loved..
This girl measures to approx UK size 8/10
Bust - up to 36"
Waist - 29"
Length - 57"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.

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.
