Even Oscar succumbed tot he eighties and made this little flirty dress with its tiered lace, asymmetrical skirt, that is perfectly eighties, but in the best possible way. It is quite beautiful and flirty and it is definitely a dress to go dancing in. Made of a mix of a light black stretch velvet and a black net with a deep burgundy dot worked through the net. Three layers of net sits over each other on an angled cut. I love how the edges of each layer of net has been finished with dressmakers tape so that you get a rounded fluted ruffle finish that really adds volume! The top is kept simple with tiny straps, perfectly offsetting the volume at the bottom. It is lightweight and an easy to wear piece whose design gives it a high impact factor. Excellent condition.

Fully lined with a black silk, it closes with a back zipper. Hand finishes.
