1980s Victor Costa Strapless Jersey Dress w Iridescent Feather Bodice Detail designer-jacques-fath Below that the skirt falls

Below that the skirt falls to the ground and widens out as it nears its hem

It is one of the most spectacular dresses from this period I have had in the shop

There is the occasional sequin missing but nothing so bare as to detract

On this dress the gathers run from the bust right down and over the hips to the very short hem so that you get curves on curves

Wrapped around the base of the crown is a hand made straw band that has been hand dyed to a soft red

Costa chose good fabrics for his designs and even though his work was often very close interpretations of other designs he did add his own unique twist when it came to colours, cut and fabrics. Some of his work is quite lovely and this dress is one of the very good pieces that he did. This is such a great little dress. It is simple yet
