Her vintage story:
She hails from the lovely Laura Ashley brand in the 80's, an era of youth, beauty, and fun. The colorful flower print pops in brilliant colors against the black background of this fitted party dress.
Lovely details:
- Sweetheart neckline and princess seams
- Kick pleat in the back to dance in
- 100% cotton with boning in the bust for support
- A decorative wrap comes across the front and features a lovely tie that fans out in pleats.
Oh please let it fit me…
(measurements taken all the way around):
- Tag is marked US 8 EUR 36 UK 10, but keep in mind that vintage sizes differ from modern sizes. Model is XS to S.
- Bust: 27"
- Waist: 27"
- Hips: 32"
- Length: Front top bust to hem- 34", Back- 29.9"
Quirks:
- Two small rips on the grain next to the top of the kick pleat. The vertical one measures 2", the horizontal one measures 1.25". May be repaired by ironing an interfacing underneath. However, the rip will still be visible if examined. Convo me for questions and requests.
*Flora is an English name that means "variant of flower."
