Hi Everyone!
I’m sharing with you today this gorgeous dress from Laura Ashley. I will be hosting on the fashion site tomorrow, so do pop over and say hi. I’d love your support! The link is here
Famous for their romantic and feminine prints, I have long been a fan.
My first bridesmaid dress that I wore at the age of 16 (yes, I had to wait that long!) was actually made from Laura Ashley fabric and I remember it like it was yesterday!
I’ve taken a stroll over to my nearby park to show this dress off and have come armed with sunglasses, umbrella and a hat. That is how unpredictable our UK weather is at the moment! On arrival, it was blowing a gale, so on went the hat.
I loved how the wind showed off how floaty the dress is. But I could barely keep the hat on my head! This Floral Print Ruffled Maxi Dress is a gobsmacking mere £35.00 on sale at Laura Ashley at the moment, so be quick to take a look. In fact, there are lots of lovely dresses available.
I love the frilled hem at the bottom of the dress. It also has an elasticated waist for comfort and a self-tie belt.
Frilled tie cuffs are a lovely detail added to the dress.The material is very very lightweight and has a Nude coloured lining.
It’s that windy that my sunglasses get blown off my head! Then it starts raining! Sun, wind and rain! Typical! Head for cover!
Feeling like a Charlies Angels diva here! What do you think of the dress? I was watching a late seventies sitcom the other day thinking “I could wear that now and be on trend” I just love how romantic this dress is!
Shaded by a huge tree, no sunglasses, no hat and no umbrella. Just this bargain of a dress. I nearly chose this one I love the colour.
There are some beautiful designs on the site so do take a look.
I like the frilled detailing on the shoulder. This runs along the back of the dress also.
There’s also a tie front on the dress. I left it loose and flowing, but it could be tied into a bow. I think this dress will be amazing later in the year with boots and a chunky knit cardigan too.
Oh look! One photo with sunglasses and no rain or wind! Just sun!
Have a great week everyone!

Looks a great dress, and you're right Laura Ashley was definitely memorable to me too growing up. I had LA curtains and loved them. And the Charlies Angel line made me smile, very Farah Fawcett! Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo x
Wow, this looks great on you! I never think of Laura Ashley for dresses!

Gorgeous dress. It looks so comfortable too. Pinned it.
I love the way you look in thid dress, Laurie, and think its colour and shape really suit your hair colour and skin tone. Surely, you can wear it for lots of different outing. I've heard about how bad British weather could be, but what you experienced in one day sounds like a bit too much to handle.

As a child I would be dressed in Laura Ashley dresses. I love the fabrics and prints they use. #bestandworst
This dress looks so perfect on you Laurie and the edgy way you styled it with those platform sandals! I still got my window shades by Laura Ashely in blue and yellow that I just looooove. Btw…your text is a beautiful example for a fashion blog so I am gonna link this in tomorrow's blogpost which is about great ways to write a fashion post.
And will pop over to L.A. now…xo Sabina

Beautiful — perfect for a wedding, I think!
Thank you Michelle. Yes I think it's a good look for a wedding too xx
I haven't heard the Laura Ashley brandname in years! I didn't know there was still a Laura Ashley clothing line.
Very feminine dress.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Karen! Yes the brand is still very strong here in the uk. The site has some lovely items. Homeware too! xx
I have such fond memories of Laura Ashley and the romantic Victorian prints that were her signature. They're not something you'd likely catch me wearing because I personally don't feel I'm sufficiently feminine/dainty to pull them off but I do so appreciate how charming they are 🙂 yours looks really pretty, Laurie.
Thank you Sheela!xx
Such a gorgeous dress!! It's so feminine and fresh! And looks like a great twirl factor!
Twirl indeed Andrea! The wind did it all for me on this windy day! xx
It looks gorgeous on you, Laurie! It's so girlie and romantic, so pretty! I agree it would also look fab with a chunky cardigan and boots. LOVE your shoes as well. Such gorgeous photos and what a pretty location!

It's a beautiful dress and looks very feminine ! It has a lovely print and suits you so well … you are a modern Charlie Angel diva!!! 🙂
Thank you Dan! Yes I feel like a 70's diva in this! xx
A very romantic style Laurie, suits you perfectly! And they're tapping into the whole "modest" dressing trend. Gail x
Thank you Gail. So many lovely items on the site at the moment and a great sale is on! Can't resist! xx
See what you mean about the changeable weather, Laurie. What a pretty soft print dress, which of course is pure LA and yes, the 70s vibe is there. When you described your winter styling idea I could so visualise that working. So, a dress for all seasons. And what about those platforms?! Amazing shoes! Where are they from?
Thank you Mary. I bought the shoes in Miss Selfridge last year. Although high, they are really comfortable. xx
Wow, this is fabulous, you look stunning in this Laurie, perfect backdrop I love. x Jacqui mummabstylish
Have you got a link to the fashion site please Laurie. xx
Thank you Jacqui. I haven't got the link yt, but will pass it over once it's on there. Must be delayed xx
