Meet Hyacinth, she is an AMAZING and RARE 1970s Laura Ashley made in Wales cotton dream dress. There is something about Laura Ashley blues, this one is such a versatile summer hue, with some richness but is also perfect soft and romantic. She has the most beautiful sweet pea print and crochet cotton lace trims, and her silhouette is out of this world. The scoop neck LA dresses are actually a personal favourite, they have a really relaxed and easy to wear vibe, with stunning sleeves, a super full flounced skirt and waist ties to cinch. This beauty is the perfect addition to any wardrobe and will be treasured and loved..

This girl should work on UK sizes 10/12/14 depending on desired fit

Bust - up to 41"

Waist - 35" does sit high and is to be cinched with side ties

Length - 56"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Hyacinth has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. She does have some light fade in places, this is due to the nature of the hand dyes Laura Ashley used in the 70s, and to me only adds to the charm, this dress has clearly been well worn and loved.. She also has had her elastic replaced in her sleeves as her shirring had lost its stretch. Overall condition is still very good, with lots of life left to live..  This has been reflected in her price.

 This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
