Description: | White plainweave cotton printed with small flower and leaf sprigs in turquoise blue.
Low round neck. Full length skirt gathered to waist. Bodice and skirt fastening CB with zip. Long sleeves with frill at cuff. Sash ties of double thickness pleated to left and right front waist. Skirt hem trimmed with flounce.
Bought by donor, when 25, in the Laura Ashley shop in bath for £7 (about £1 below the usual price, because the zip fastener had broken). Worn to parties and weddings with a white crocheted wool shawl. Last worn in 1976, after which it seemed too frilly and dressy for current taste, and the length was wrong. According to Laura Ashley's the fabric is design no. S105 which originated i n1972 and was a combination of designs from an old patchwork quilt.
