1980s Laura Ashley Teal & Purple Floral Strapless Tiered Dress — Smaller of Two

A beautiful vintage Laura Ashley dress from the 1980s featuring a rich teal background with a romantic floral print in shades of purple, blue, lavender, cream, and soft green. The fitted strapless bodice has a gently curved sweetheart neckline and a structured, feminine shape through the bust and waist.

The bodice opens into a playful two-tiered gathered skirt, creating plenty of fullness and movement while keeping the silhouette short and flirty. The bold jewel-toned floral print makes this such a fun statement piece for parties, date nights, summer events, or styled with heels and vintage jewelry.

We currently have two of this exact Laura Ashley design in different sizes and conditions. This listing is for the smaller of the two. Please see VF-LA-008 for the larger version once listed.

Measurements

Measurements reflect the approximate garment circumference where appropriate.

Bust: 27”
Waist: 27”
Bodice length: 22”
Total length: 32”

Vintage sizing can vary significantly from modern sizing. For the most accurate fit, we recommend measuring a similar fitted strapless dress that already fits you well and comparing those measurements directly with the garment measurements above.

The dress is modeled on a wearer with the following approximate body measurements:

Bust: 32”
Underbust: 29”
Waist: 26”
High hip/lower tummy: 31.5”
Full hip: 36”

This smaller version was too tight on the model through the upper bodice. Best suited for approximately XXS–XS, depending on bust shape and desired fit. Please rely primarily on the garment measurements rather than modern sizing labels.
