Laura Ashley, Bo Peep - Black

Make a statement on your special day with this stunning vintage Laura Ashley gown—perfect for brides seeking something unique, romantic, and unforgettable.

This breathtaking dress features a fabulous black polished cotton with a dramatic full skirt with cascading ruffles and gathered bow detailing. The strapless bodice is beautifully structured with internal boning along with a soft, feminine neckline accented by delicate ruffle trim, creating a flattering and timeless silhouette. The voluminous skirt adds a fairytale-like presence, ideal for an alternative wedding, gothic romance aesthetic, or a bold alternative gown to traditional white. I have photographed this with a full bridal petticoat to show its full sweep. Petticoat is NOT included in sale.
