This dress is a very special one to me and I've been waiting for the perfect day to wear it. Jon's Mummy Gilly wore it back in the 80's and kindly passed it down the generations to me. It's a vintage Laura Ashley dress with a delicate lace collar finished with a beautiful summer floral motif. In my opinion Laura Ashley isn't as good as it used to be, meaning dresses like this are a rare and precious commodity. I grew up wearing Laura Ashley dresses for special occasions when I was a kid and the stuff they used to design is now very much sought after by vintage collectors.
If you have a look on Ebay these days the most popular Laura Ashley dresses- those with the most bids- are the longer style ones like this. I usually don't like my tea dresses too long as they make me look shorter but stood in a field of wild flowers on a Summers day, it was difficult to imagine a more perfect dress to wear.

Ohhh these are so beautiful. That dress is stunning on you, and you're right -- they don't make 'em like this anymore! Love the collar and sleeves, and the print is so summery. You look gorgeous, and I am obsessed with the sunset photos with you dancing in the field!!

Lovely pictures, I have an old Laura Ashley dress that my mum used to wear in the 80s, it's not as lovely as yours though, mine only has straps rather than a collar and sweet sleeves
