A picture is worth more than anything we could do with words so we have scoured the web for great examples of 80s dresses. We hope you enjoy this gallery of 80s dresses as much as we enjoyed finding them. Of special note is the Laura Ashley floral-print sack dress that added 35 pounds to anyone who wore them. And for that privilege, people paid well over $120.00 (that’s in 1980s dollars) – yikes! A veritable fortune for 3 yards of floral cotton with some gathering around the waist. These dresses were very preppy and were often paired with a pair Keds and white socks – now that’s a good look. We found several examples of these dresses (selling now on ebay for a mere $10.00). We do not have a vintage photo from the 80s of one a Laura Ashley dress in action but would love one (hint, hint – email it to us if you have one). More samples can be seen below - let the flowers be your guide.

It
is easy to see in the shape, cut and style of these examples of
80s dresses just what makes 80s fashion unique. The draping, the
shoulder pads, the extra layer of ruffles, the bright patterns
(polka dots and loud florals) all typify the look that is so
uniquely associated with the 1980s. The extravagance that marks
the decade of greed is well interpreted in its dresses. From
power dressing and casual wear for day to cocktail and prom
dresses for night, these 80s dresses have it all. They are big,
bold and bodacious.
