1970s Laura Ashley Maxi Dresses

January 29, 2025

In my last blog post, I shared some of my favourite Laura Ashley smock dresses. Today I have more beautiful Laura Ashley dresses to share with you. By far the most collectible era for Laura Ashley dresses is the late 60s and 1970s. This era is known for its beautiful prairie and maxi dresses in beautiful heavy cottons, all made in the Welsh factory in Carno.
