1980s Laura Ashley White, Blue and Lilac Bow and Flower Princess Dress, 35in Bust

If there is one thing Laura Ashley did well in the 1980s, it was the ultra feminine 1950s style princess dresses! And this is no exception! In shades of blue, lilac and green, the beautiful print dances across the lengths of fabric, with large floral blooms finished with tied ribbon bows. The silhouette is very 1950s with the nipped waist, full skirt and tight bodice, but the 'sleeves' say 1980s, giving you the option to wear it off the shoulder if it takes your fancy. Get your accessories to pick out the colour of the dress, or go full on princess by adding pink. A wonderful dress to wear to that Summer wedding or event, you will certainly be the only one with such a feminine outfit!
