This is a gorgeous vintage Laura Ashley heavy cotton maxi dress, bought by me from, I think the Harriet Street branch, in the early 1970s.  This lovely dress is in a wonderful yellow print with flowers, deer and hounds.  It has a fitted empire line bodice with full double sleeves, long ties at the back and two very full frills to the hem - the neckline and sleeves are trimmed with lace.  The dress is unlined and has a long back zip.  This dress has the early Made in Wales label and is marked a vintage size 10 - Laura Ashley sizes came up quite small.  Measurements are as follows :  Pit to Pit 39.5cm (15.5") approx / Shoulder to Shoulder 35.5cm (14") approx / Sleeve Length - shoulder to end 21.5cm (8.5") approx / Empire Line - side seam to side seam 36cm (14") approx /- Hip - side to side - please note this dress has a flat front but is much fuller at the back 65cm (25.5") approx / Length - nape to hem 137cm (54") approx.  Please note this is a true vintage dress and has been worn but this was a very special dress for me so it did not get worn very often so is in very good condition. This has been stored in a suitcase for a very long time - it no longer fits me and I have boys rather than girls! This is a heavy dress and will be sent in a box via Evri.
