Laura Ashley dress. Vintage?

[Lulu Poppins]

I found a Laura Ashley dress which I liked but ending not buying It because I'm not sure if it's vintage.

Does anyone know if there were Made in China L. Ashley dresses before the 1997s?
The label stated "Made in China".

I've checked on the Pubblic info about her and the tags, but It doesn't show any made in China. Also, It gets to the 1990.
If I think on the vint-age, maybe that dress could be vintage now and maybe there's new info to add. Just wondering.

Thank you
