I’m not used to feeling so starstruck over a dress..
But this is no ordinary dress, is it..
The coveted Laura Ashley bridal from the 1980’s..
It’s a pure fairytale..
And it’s new with the tags..the paper tags..
Which alone is such a treasure to see..
The dress is made from 100% cotton..
A wonderful polished cotton…
With incredible botanical floral print..stunning!
Beautifully tailored bodice with a sweetheart bustline and pointed waist..
The mutton sleeves are so dramatic and create such a romantic look..
The skirt is so full..The fullest!
I fit my biggest bridal petticoat under it and I still had more sweep!
Beautiful layered ruffled details down each hip to the floor..
The dress is unlined and buttons up the back.
A huge bow accents the back of the dress..
This bow is pure architecture..with little loops and buttons to hold the weight of it..
It can also be removed altogether if desired.
Bodice is lined with cotton..
Skirt is unlined..
For the perfect fairytale wedding…this is the dress!
Displayed with an extra large bridal petticoat to show fullness of the skirt and not included.
Excellent old stock condition with original paper hang tags still attached…the tag has been partially cut..the dress has never been washed and has some dirt and surface marks from prolonged storage in the back of a bridal shop for 40 years..It is a lovely bright white and can be worn as is..I believe that the marks can be lifted…but it will need a professional cleaning..I decided to leave it as I found it, unwashed since the 1980’s, remarkable!
