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.

The PERFECT bra!
Size: 38D, Color: Barely Buff
I typically don't write reviews...but I just had to with this bra! I have not worn an underwire bra in years. I have had such a hard time finding something that is comfortable, supportive and does not allow for overflow. This bra is perfect! The material is soft and stretchy. It covers everything and does it comfortably! It also provides a perfect lift! The color is a perfect skin tone. Pretty sure I will be buying more!

SUPER SOFT!! I'm impressed with how amazing this sheer bra feels on!!
Size: 46C, Color: Orchid Hush, Size: 46C, Color: Orchid Hush
I already loved Delimira front closure bras so thought I'd try these sheet mesh ones with Valentine's day coming up. Wow, was I super happy! The "mesh" that I have found scratchy on other brands was SUPER SOFT on this one. It's a stretchy fabric, but definitely is giving my C cups support. The size fit exactly as the other Delimira bras fit me. The shoulder straps feel wonderful too -- that's an added bonus. I was worried the back would be too much material and/or feel weird, but I loved how it felt and the coverage will make for zero tugging. This design is fantastic! As soon as I tried it on, I immediately ordered more colors and now have the light purple, red, white, and teal blue!! Oh and yes, it's sheer and will show your nips (some colors more than others), but not through a shirt. It provides the same coverage as other unlined bras under shirts. If you want a sexy bra that's comfortable too, this is it! My only complaint is that all the hardware on the bras are GOLD, no matter which color you order. I would prefer silver.

Comfy but don’t expect too much support
Size: 40F, Color: Snow White
Closure was a little stiff until I used it a few times. Fit was as expected; posture back feels good. Underwire isn’t uncomfortable at all. Mesh material is breathable and soft. Doesn’t provide real strong dupport so if that’s what you’re looking for you might be disappointed.

Delimira posture front closing bra
Size: 40DD, Color: Sargasso
This bra is great however there’s room to make it better. There is great back support & coverage of back fat as well as side fat. The strap is thick & comfortable. The strap stays in place also. The front closure is a plus however what does make it uncomfortable is the wire due to the length & the material needs to be thicker or maybe the wire should be some other material. The other part of it being uncomfortable is that the cups run oddly smaller & I sized up so if I go up another size the bra will be too big & not stay in place. This bra with some work could be excellent though.

The perfect bra!
Size: 46F, Color: Black
I love these bras because the back support is amazing allowing for perfect posture. I did need to size up the back as it didn’t have my cup size but is still incredibly comfortable. definitely a must buy!
