If you've ever loved Laura Ashley designs, but wish they could be a bit edgier...
Then, this is the dress for you! This was once your typical Laura Ashley dress, sweet and romantic -but, at some point some tea (because its British?) must've spilled, permanently staining the floral print. That where I come in! I rescued this dress from the thrift shop, knowing that some of my (Costuming) skills in overdyeing and distressing would come in handy; this dress was tea-stained, bleached out, and then overdyed Violet.
It's a typical warm weather style dress, sleeveless and with a wide-V neck and back line. The overall fit is somewhat relaxed, with princess seamed bodice and semi-drop wait line that is delineated by self-fabric piping. The skirt flares out gently and the hem hits around mid-calf to lower knee. The left side features a nylon zipper closure, and out favorite detail: the back bodice features a corset style cinch closure with self-fabric ties. Overall condition is very good, aside from staining, no issues! Labels read 'Laura Ashley, made in Great Britain, 100% cotton, size 14UK/ 40 EU/ 10 US'.
