27 Vintage Dresses of February #8
By leily on Feb 10, 2008 in Women’s fashion
We are in awe of this 1950’s strapless number in gold, no less. It’s available from VFG member Tasty Vintage.
Just amazing, this dress is beautifully constructed with a handset zipper, bound seams and handstitched silk lining. the fabric also feels like a silk blend - there are no labels other than the one referring to the fabric (handwoven in Madrid) but you get the feeling that this is a dress that was very expensive when originally ordered!
It zips at the rear with a concealed metal zip, and the peplum fastens around the waist with hooks and eyes. You could move the hooks if needed to give you a little extra room without it looking odd. The peplum itself is actually quite a thing to behold, stiffened fabric and lined in a silky green fabric. It’s just wonderful, and quite futuristic looking!
