1980s Victor Costa Strapless Jersey Dress w Iridescent Feather Bodice Detail designer-frank-usher it closes all the way

it closes all the way to the bottom hem so it could be worn as a dress as well

I love its easy styling and tie dye print that runs over the silk in a mix of pinks and creams

The waist nips in and is highlighted with red embroidered piping

The gold has been woven through the organza in a pattern of horizontal stripes and bands that sit over the pale pink

There is a space in the waist for a tie to loop through and around but the tie is long gone - you could easily loop one back through if you wished

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
