Vintage Laura Ashley Sailor Dress

Yesterday I went shopping in Liverpool and found this adorable sailor dress in Soho's Vintage store! Surprisingly, it was just my size, fit me like a glove, and was my favourite style and colour! I just love the feel of this dress, as it reminds me of an Edwardian child and the 1920s dropped waist at the same time. It's also vintage Laura Ashley, which I've been in love with for a long time now.
It was £15 too. :)

Photos!



By the way, I'm going to Florida for two weeks on Wednesday, so posting may be scarce from me in those weeks. Expect plenty of photos when I get back though!

Inspiration: 1970s-80s Laura Ashley

Usually I'm not a big fan of 1980s fashion, until I saw these gorgeous, fairy-tale like scans on Pinterest. They remind me of the origins of Lolita fashion, such as Victorian and Edwardian styles, as well as Sybil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers for some reason (she's another frilly lady from the 70s and 80s).








If only Laura Ashely still did clothes like that... I think I'd buy the whole store! Still, they have lovely, Lolita-esque wallpapers and furniture. I've got a Rococo-themed mirror that I have on my vanity from there, and Georgian toile wallpaper.
