A beautiful vintage Laura Ashley dress and matching jacket set. Strapless ballgown style with a full skirt and boned bodice. The dress has button and zip fastenings at the back.
The material is lightweight cotton. The jacket appears to have been home made by the original owner to match the dress. Please be aware that it is not finished to the same standard as the dress and so is included for free with the dress.
The label says size 10 and this dress would fit a modern day UK size 6-8 best.
History of the dress
The original owner bought it from Laura Ashley in the late 1980s and wore it to some black tie events at Oxford University where she was a student. Quite a few years later she wore it to a wedding in Tuscany. It has been carefully stored since.
Please see photos for details and condition and check the measurements carefully before purchasing.
All measurements are approximate.
Pit to pit: 16 inches but may fit a bit bigger due to style and open back
Waist: 13.5 inches

Things to note:
A petticoat was used to show the fullness of the skirt. The petticoat is not included.
The dress has a tear at the button on the back that will need repairing. Please see photos.
