1970s Victor Costa Lilac Silk Ball Gown (Fits 4-6)

1970s Victor Costa Lilac Silk Gown

Materials: 100% Silk

Brand / Maker: Victor Costa ltd.

Era: 1970s

Victor Costa launched his label in 1974 and was known for producing versions of fashions shown on the Paris runways at the time. This dress would have been based on pieces that Yves Saint Laurent created in this time frame. Get the runway "look" of the 70s at a great price.
Costa chose lovely fabrics for his variations and added his own twist to color, and cut. Made from iridescent silk taffeta with weight and structure creating impressive lines and volume without making the dress heavy or bulky to wear.

The bodice is fitted and strapless and cut to curve and shape the bust. Circling around the top portion of the bust is an elaborate ruffled finish that is made of two panels of taffeta stacked on top of each other. The waist nips in and the dress comes with its original tie belt in contrasting fabric that allows you to cinch the waist in further. The skirt falls to the floor and is finished by a pleated ruffled that goes all the way around the hem. Fully lined in the same fabric through the bodice and the skirt is unlined. The bodice is lightly boned and shaped with stiffening fabric. The dress closes with a back zipper and even has pockets! Excellent condition
