1980S MICHAEL NOVARESE Black Haute Couture Silk Taffeta Duster Covered In Exceptional Embroidery & Beaded Gold Work

This 1970's vintage Albert Nipon Victorian renaissance evening dress is really amazing. This beautiful satin faced black velvet dress has a built in satin and tulle slip underneath. The bodice, collar and cuffs are trimmed in a lovely black lace and the dress is perfect for the holidays! Ruffles are very much on trend right now and even if they weren't, we think this dress is timeless and beautiful!

We are passionate about purchasing sustainable fashion and we believe that vintage and used fashion...
