Vintage 1970s Laura Ashley Black Ditsy Floral Prairie Dress with White Lace

It is rare to come across such a dark Laura Ashley design, let alone a prairie dress, which makes this black, gothic-style piece even more special. With an Edwardian high-neck and beautiful mutton sleeves, the darkness is subtly contrasted by the white ditsy floral print and the lovely lace on the collar and cuffs. It comes with the matching, accentuating belt and a zip back for easy access.It has a zip back fastening. Beautiful mutton sleeves. Rare to get a black Laura Ashley. Gothic vibe. The lighting makes it almost look a dark navy blue. It's not jet black. We have debated over the colour and are in agreement it is black.
