The Blue Belle: Laura Ashley 1970s Dress
The Story
There are dresses, and then there are truly, truly beautiful dresses. This dress is the latter. The powder blue is breathtaking, and it creates an almost mesmerising quality alongside the Bardot neckline and ruffled hem. Laura Ashley was a master of the romantic dress, and this lovely piece is a fine example of that. In our opinion, it holds the very essence of the vintage romantic.
