laura ashley strapless dress 1985 Laura Ashley Crisp White Cotton Strapless Bow Dress – Shrimpton CoutureLaura Ashley was a Welsh fashion designer who started making Victorian style, printed headscarves in 1953 with fabric she printed herself at her kitchen table.

Laura Ashley was a Welsh fashion designer who started making Victorian style, printed headscarves in 1953 with fabric she printed herself at her kitchen table. By 1961, she and her husband had opened their first shop, and by 1966 started to make the dresses she became known for. This dress is from a little later in their timeline and the date was verified by a follower on my Instagram who wore a pink version in 1985 to their prom.

It has that nostalgic feel to it that all the best of her work has. It is an interesting combination of a more formal silhouette but the fabric it is made from is a cotton. This gives it an interesting mix. The dress is strapless with a fitted and boned bodice that is finished with a small ruffled that runs around its upper edge. It dips into a sharp V at the front waist and then under that is one of the most fabulous skirts I have seen. I have styled it over a light crinoline but it has room to be far fuller even then how it looks and even with no crinoline the sheer volume of fabric gives it a wonderful fullness. It is made up of two layers, the inner layer that is a solid white cotton with a deep ruffle hem hidden under the top layer and then over that is a second layer of cotton. That top layer has that same ruffled edge finish as the bodice dies and is gathered up into little lifts all the way around the skirt. Each lift is finished with a tied bow and another bow ties just above that. This would make a gorgeous summer party dress, or even a wedding dress for someone not looking for a traditional gown. Excellent condition 

The bodice is lined in the same fabric and boned for support. It closes with a back metal and nylon zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The white is crisp and true.

Perfect shelf for the office
Size: 24 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 24 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
When we bought our house it came with an office space and this little wall space in between the cabinets lol. We had no idea what to do with it BUT our monitors took up so much room that we couldn't put anything on the desk really. Then we got the idea of a floating shelf and well this was perfect! Matches and really looks like it came with the house haha. It has held up and now I get my office supplies and can look at pics!

Sturdy piece
Size: 24 Inch, Color: Retro Grey Oak-light
Easy to put together. I bought to use as a spice rack in a small kitchen. It's a heavy piece. Can hold quite a lot.

Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality!
Size: 48in, Color: 3tier
Couldn't be happier with the results! The combination of black galvanized pipes and thick wooden shelves adds a rustic yet modern touch to my decor. These shelves are incredibly sturdy and can hold a good amount of weight, making them perfect for towels and decorative items. I love how versatile they are; I can see them working well in the kitchen or living room too. The assembly was straightforward. Overall, these shelves are a fantastic space-saving solution that enhances the aesthetic of any room!
