Meet Tabitha, she is a stunning HOLY GRAIL RARE bo peep era 1980s Laura Ashley dream dress, beautifully crafted with metres and metres of soft cotton. I have had several versions of this dress, and this is by far the rarest sourced to date, I have never seen one in this colourway before! She is quite literally dripping in ruffles, with a huge triple ruffle flounce and a beautiful frilled neckline. Her skirt is so gorgeously full, she has a stunning boned bodice and the most amazing puff sleeves. This dress is remarkable, and a truly precious piece to cherish forever and ever.. It is very unlikely that you will come across this dress again, especially in this size!
This girl should work on UK sizes 14, could work on a busty 12.
Bust - 40"
Waist - 32" - 33"
Length - 60" - will come up a little shorter when worn due to elasticated shoulders.
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
The Tabitha 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. Some very light signs of wear at her hem, and has had her elastic replaced in shoulders and cuffs, no major flaws to note, she is a really beautiful piece.
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.
