Vintage Laura Ashley velvet gown. This was the star of our booth at the @bloodmilk clothing market last month and she's finally ready for her forever home!
Structured velvet bodice with slightly pointed sweetheart neckline and a basque waist. Full flowy skirt, fully lined in poly satin with a sheer overlay. Zips up the back. Long sleeves are sheer with ruched detailing, tapering towards the wrist, and medieval-inspired puffed shoulders for extra drama. The shoulders slouch in just the right way that they can worn just-so off the shoulders, especially if you're busty enough to fill out the bodice.
She has NO STRETCH WHATSOEVER and very particular sizing, so please double check measurements before purchasing!
52" long shoulder to hem (on the hanger). She seems to be a US women's dress size 6-8. Fits a 29-31" waist (absolute max) and up to 40" hips. Ideal bust measurement for a proper fit is about 37-38" and highly recommended for someone on the busty side who wears a larger cup size. I am 5'2" and it reached my ankles. **** It looks like it fits me in the photos, but it does not! I wear roughly a size 2-4 (measurements 35-24-35), it was very roomy on me and was only staying up because of the shoulders! Please keep this in mind if you usually use my modeling as a fit reference! ****
