This is a dream dress of mine…
1970’s vintage…
Blackest rayon velvet..so soft..
Floral fishnet lace...
With a creamy beige acetate lining,
creating the perfect illusion!
Tailored bodice with a pretty scoop neckline..
Velvet piping at the neck..
Lace sleeves..unlined and sheer..
Ruffles at the cuff…
3 braided loops at the waist and a matching waist tie to cinch the perfect silhouette..
The skirt is where I get weak in the knees..
The way the velvet and lace panels ascend from waist to hem like a midnight sunburst..Love!
Nice full ruffle at the bottom hem..
Such a gorgeous piece!
No maker on the label..
Zips up the back.
Excellent condition…has some faint marks on the lining..the zipper has scooted about 1/4” and isn’t lining up properly so I’ll have to put it on the sewing table and see if I can sort that out..not a big deal
