Jane Air in Vintage Laura Ashley made in wales victorian style crochet dress





Click onto pics to enlarge. This dress featured on the Laura Ashley blog in August 2012. It is a Vintage Laura Ashley made-in-wales victorian style crochet maxi dress. Quite a few of the dresses created by Laura Ashley in the late 60's and early 70's are in the style of victorian milkmaid dress. It is cream in colour but looks white. I feel this dress works well against the vibrant yellow rapeseed in the background.

Vintage Laura Ashley 80s floral gown with tierred ruffles


A vintage Laura Ashley floral tiered dress from the 1980's. Have worn this online at http://janeairphotos7.blogspot.com/ and for the online bank poem at http://bankletter.blogspot.com/. The floral pattern reminds me of the digital floral prints that have been in fashion quite recently.

Ophelia illustration from a vintage Shakespeare book

Have decided to post this illustration of Ophelia that I have scanned in and edited slightly from a collection of Shakespeare dated 1860.
