An original 1980s Laura Ashley dress in a rich bottle green paisley print, made in Great Britain and featuring the romantic, Edwardian-inspired styling for which the label became celebrated.
Crafted from soft brushed cotton, the dress features a beautiful multicoloured paisley design in muted shades of green, blue and burgundy against a deep green background.
The contrasting dark sailor-style collar creates a distinctive neckline, while the fitted bodice and gently dropped waist lead into a softly pleated midi-length skirt.
Long sleeves with gathered cuffs add to its romantic silhouette, while the adjustable back ties allow the waist to be shaped to suit the wearer.
Two practical side pockets complete this wonderfully wearable piece of original British vintage fashion.
A particularly lovely example of 1980s Laura Ashley design, combining traditional influences with the comfortable cotton fabrics and relaxed femininity associated with the brand.
