| Description |
A knee length cocktail dress, from the 1980s, in black polyester with chiffon layered ruffles at the hem and gathered chiffon straps. The fabric from which this garment is made is very elastic in nature which, when combined with elasticated vertical seams to give a rouched effect, makes the dress very figure hugging. It is trimmed at the front centre with a black rose made from the same chiffon as the straps and ruffles. |
