CATALINA - 1970s Vintage Laura Ashley Purple Pinafore Maxi Dress - Size S/M

Meet CATALINA, a stunning 1970s Laura Ashley maxi-length pinafore dress in a rich dark purple hue. Featuring an iconic floral print in vibrant turquoise, this timeless piece captures the essence of vintage charm. She fastens gracefully at the back with a discreet zipper.

The dress is in excellent pre-loved condition, with only a few subtle white spots from the fabric dyeing process. These marks, typical of darker fabrics produced in Wales (which I presume as the part has been cutted - but the main label is still attached to the dress), are barely noticeable and blend seamlessly into the print, maintaining the fabric's strong and resilient quality.

Perfect for layering over blouses or jumpers, or simply wearing on its own, CATALINA is a versatile and elegant addition to any wardrobe.

If there are any noticeable wear or flaws that go beyond what is considered normal for vintage clothing, I will make sure to mention them.
