Retro Vintage 1980s Sequined Evening Dress



Retro Vintage 1980s Sequined Evening Dress. A fabulous English retro vintage full length evening dress in black and white, dating to circa 1987. This wonderful sexy evening dress has a fitted and boned bodice, completely covered with black, white and cream sequins. The dress is ankle length and it has a full polyester skirt, which swishes nicely when you move. The skirt of the dress is gathered into the fitted waist and it has an underskirt and net petticoat all sewn in, to give it some shape. The dress has sequined straps, but, these look like they have been added and they could be easily removed if you wanted to wear this strapless. The dress fastens with a rear concealed zipper and it has a cloth label, which reads: Bernshaw. A really great dress, very light and easy to wear, all you need with this dress is big hair, and you'll truely look like a diva! The dress is in great shape, with no flaws or damage, excellent condition.
