60 years of Laura Ashley.
I have been waiting and planning to visit this exhibition in Bath for a long time. Finally, yesterday, my plans were fulfilled…
We arrived at the beautiful city that is Bath…..
and headed for the Assembly rooms…
Photography was allowed….hurrah! that means you can come too…..
On entering …
A beautiful ballroom filled with archived very early Laura Ashley dresses…
The tour starts….
This turned out to be my favourite. I would wear this…really!
and around the corner….
sigh…
This was a ‘one off’ production piece
A childs dress in swan fabric (second fave)
They really should reproduce this print today?
Love the pockets and styling….
‘Modern’ Pop brights?
and so Jane Austen…
Simply adorable…with a ‘mock’ apron front.
…in delicate lawn…
Laure Ashley also did mini dresses in the 60’s….But I don’t remember them,
Do you?
She was of course renown for the mid 70’s frills and prairie dresses…
To finish…
Side by side 60’s and 70’s
A mum had made this for her daughters from one of her old Laura Ashley dresses…
Its from the mid 70’s.
Such a shame Laura Ashley died so young…
On a lighter note, this was dress of the year for 2012!
not much dress….or is my age showing?
We had a super day…Bath is such a beautiful city.
Have a great weekend
