[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're on trend.

Romantic florals are in for spring here in the UK.  I was out shopping today and saw a lot of dresses that remind me of 80s Laura Ashley type frocks.

I bought this one this afternoon (I'm sure you will hate it :)

[b]That doesn't look anything like Laura Ashley[/b]. It's fine, but the sleeves are too long and too structured for it to look romantic. [/quote]

Yes, it does.  I said it 'reminds me of' Laura Ashley, and yes, it does reference that trend.  I wouldn't want it to be exactly like the Laura Ashley dresses I remember my mum wearing, but it is Laura Ashley-esque with updates.

Do you wear leggings a lot?[/quote]

Nope. Haven't worn leggings since the 80s when I stopped shopping at the limited and express.

Romantic florals are on trend...in the UK. And the US trots out florals every spring for Easter. The dress you picked is fine, but the sleeves are too structured to be romantic. The romantic florals (SFDs) tend to have flowy sleeves. And there's nothing about it that reminds me of Laura Ashley (I am one of 4 sisters who came of age when everyone shopped at Laura Ashley, Belle France, Bloomies and I Magnin at White Flint back in the day, so I can still smell what Laura Ashley smelled like as soon as you walked in).
