About MeFull-length white cotton bridesmaid dress with satinised stripes and sprigged floral print.The dress was made by the donor for the wedding of a friend, and is similar in style to the full-length floral dresses produced by Laura Ashley. Heavily influential during the 1970's trend for nostalgia, Laura Ashley produced fashions that conjured up an image of a genteel pastoral idyll.
