If you're a girly-girl who grew up in the 80s and early 90s, you might remember Laura Ashley, the English brand that was all things frilly, flowery, and English-Rose-Shabby-Chic before Shabby Chic was, well, what it is today. The clothing and home goods company drastically reduced its business operations years ago—shuttering most of its stores. But today the company announced that it has inked a licensing agreement to produce a line of lingerie called Laura Ashley Intimates and Laura Ashley London, which will arrive in stores early next year. WWD reports: "Bra cup sizes will range from 34B to 38C, and a full-figure range will be sized 38D to 40DDD, while undies will be S, M and L to plus sizes XL to 3X. Suggested retail for bras by Laura Ashley will be $36 and undies will be priced at three pairs for $24; bras and undies by Laura Ashley London will be listed between $50 and $60 and panties will be $20 to $30."
