1980s Victor Costa Strapless Jersey Dress w Iridescent Feather Bodice Detail designer-jacques-fath On this dress the gathers

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

The dress is lined with an attached cream jersey dress as described above

This one has rows of different colored sequins between tightly spaced rows of zig zagging metallic thread on a black knit and elastic base and is a little taller so give a touch more coverage

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

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

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
