1980s Caroline Charles Silk Velvet Polka Dot Dress
About the Item
This late 1980s or early 1990s black velvet polka dot dress by Caroline Charles would make the perfect seasonal party piece! It features a wide boat neckline with purple silk contrast edge, and puff 3/4 length sleeves which add structure to the overall silhouette. The cuff of each sleeve is also finished with the same purple edge as the neckline. The dress has a slightly dropped waist (as was common for the styles of the era) and a gathered skirt which creates definition at the hip and falls to around knee length. The fabric is a lovely thick, soft velvet, with an embroidered polka dot pattern in shades of red, yellow, green, blue, purple and lilac. It is lined in a cool silky material and black net underpinning, to add a little extra volume, and fastens down the back with a simple zip closure.
A beautiful quality dress from a stalwart of high-end British occasion wear and very fun to wear. In excellent vintage condition with no flaws or stains to note. It would best fit up to a size 10 UK, or 6 US.
