OMG. It’s the gen X girl’s formal dream dress!!! The 80s romantic ads of the Laura Ashley style, full of far away gazes, fields of lavender, windswept hair, and dreams of a rugged gentleman made you NEED this dress.

So many styling options… from pearls and flats with a satin hair ribbon to boots and scarves… it is perfect for everything. ( can you tell how in love with this unicorn I am??) Vintage ads are for styling ideas. NOT THE ACTUAL DRESS Vintage Laura Ashley ( garments made in Hungary were 80s production) velvet dress. Rich midnight blue velvet ( it’s NOT black) Signature LA silhouette Fitted bodice with side zipper Full loop buttons up the front and at cuffs Gorgeous box pleated full skirt Dry clean Tea length Puff shoulder SIZE 12
