27 Vintage Dresses of February #15

Black and white and 80's all over, this dress is available from VFG member Marian's Vintage Vanities.

Heavy cream colored rayon brocade and black velvet dramatic dress with drop shoulders and long sleeves is very well made of quality fabrics. The gown was probably made in the 1980’s but has a timeless elegance. It would make a wonderful winter wedding dress. The boned fitted dropped front and back pointed bodice is fully lined with cream colored rayon. The deep sweet heart shaped bodice neckline front has a band of 1 3/4" wide velvet. Across each upper sleeve is a 12" long, 2 1/2" wide at the middle and 9" wide velvet bows are across each shoulder. The bodice back is square with a mid back zipper. The long sleeves have 1 3/4" wide velvet band cuffs. 7" long elasticized shoulder straps can be worn down across the upper arm or up across the top of the shoulders to hold the off shoulder fit in place.
