Absolutely beautiful vintage Laura Ashley dress. Romantic ballgown style with a full, high low skirt and button bodice.
There is one button missing at the top on the back of the dress. There are buttons that are concealed behind the bow that could be moved to replace the top one if desired.
The label says size 12 but vintage clothes can come up small. This dress would likely fit a modern day 10 best.
History of the dress:
The original owner of this dress purchased it new in the early 1980's. She said:
“My dad was in the RAF and I used to go with my parents
to formal occasions with them around that time. I’m now 62 and kept it
thinking my daughter would like it for her prom when she was 16 but no that
never happened so glad somebody else can appreciate it.”
Please see photos for details and condition and check the measurements carefully before purchasing. The colour is a rich emerald green but it's come out looking turquoise in the photos. The last photos are closest to the true colour. A petticoat was used to show the fullness of the skirt but isn't included.
All measurements are approximate.
