Is there anything more beautiful than an original Laura Ashley prairie dress? This one is an early 1980’s beauty, made in the iconic Carno factory in Wales.

Ohh this simply stunning Laura Ashley prairie dress is as pretty as a picture. Crafted in the loveliest lightweight cotton fabrication in a lovely soft blue, she features a smattering of tiny florals throughout, a scoop neck with statement oversized ruffle detail and elbow length billowing sleeves, and buttons through all the way down the front. She’s cut in an ultra flattering silhouette with a nipped in fitted waist which billows out into a full midi circle skirt. Magical.

She’s perfect for picnics and sunset strolls, and can be worn on or off the shoulder. Divine.

100% cotton. Unlined.

Made in Wales.

 

Condition: Very good vintage condition, minor wear consistent with age. There is some slight wash + sun fade about - across the top mostly. A rare and collectable piece.

 

Measurements:

Armpit to armpit - 49cm flat,

Waist - 40cm flat (no stretch),

Length - 118cm.

Tagged a vintage size 10, I would estimate this would be suitable for a M, around a modern 10-smaller waisted 12 in AUS sizing depending on the desired fit/measurements.

 

Please note - all vintage items are final sale. Each item we source is a genuine vintage piece and can be over 30-60 years old. They have been worn and loved in their many past lives and thus have imperfections and wear consistent with age. Please be assured we would never sell anything we wouldn't wear or adore ourselves, and all major flaws and issues will be listed in the product description.
