BLUE SONNET - 1980s Vintage Laura Ashley Navy Polka Dot Dress - Size S/M
Meet BLUE SONNET, a beautiful 1980s Laura Ashley dress with all the charm of an old English countryside wardrobe. Made from lovely Viyella fabric in a navy blue, she is covered in the tiniest ivory polka dots. Her pretty pointed collar, delicate buttons and softly gathered shoulders add a sweet, old-fashioned touch. The long sleeves are finished with buttoned cuffs, while the gently fitted waist opens into a beautifully pleated midi skirt, complete with practical side pockets. And I particularly love the little bow that ties at the back! A wonderfully romantic piece, reminiscent of autumn walks through sleepy villages and afternoons spent in little countryside bookshops.
