{"product_id":"1980s-handmade-liberty-tana-lawn-floral-cotton-dress","title":"1980s Handmade Liberty Tana Lawn Floral Cotton Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pretty dress was handmade in the 1980s from Liberty Tana Lawn cotton, very much in keeping with the renewed appetite for romantic floral dresses during the period. The print may be Sky Lune, a Liberty archival floral that was revived for dress fabrics during the 1980s and 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe off-white Tana Lawn is scattered with delicate pastel flowers and foliage. It has softly puffed sleeves, a boat neckline and discreet pockets set into the side seams. The skirt is gently pleated into the waist and falls to the lower calf, while the back fastens with a row of fabric-covered buttons. The quality of the construction is particularly good; a lot of love and care was put into the making which has a considerable amount of hand stitching and finishing throughout and all very neat. The bodice alone is lined in plain white Liberty Tana Lawn, leaving the full skirt light and fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is in excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. There are no labels with it being handmade, so please refer to the sizing information below. The fit is meant to be loose so the style will accommodate around a UK 12 or US 8 but can be worn oversized by smaller sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes on Fabric: Liberty's celebrated Tana Lawn cotton was developed in the 1930s to combine the lightness and fluid handle of silk with the practicality of cotton, and became particularly associated with the house’s finely detailed floral prints. Today, Liberty Tana Lawn retails at around £32 per metre with approximately four metres used in the construction of this dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 36 in.
