1980s Jenny Packham Velvet and Silk Taffeta Dress
About the Item
A very early design from high end occasion wear specialist Jenny Packham; this 1980s black velvet and silk cocktail dress is perfect for the upcoming party season. The bodice is made up of a lovely thick black velvet, with a plunging sweetheart neckline, trimmed with a delicate silk piping. There is a triangle modesty panel of silk at the V point of the neckline, and the sleeves are also capped in the same black silk fabric. The dress has a classic 50s silhouette which was revived and updated during the 80s. The skirt flares out from the waist and is lined with a quality soft silk. It features a mesh underskirt to give the dress volume and structure and is finished with a bow detail belt.
The dress is in fabulous vintage condition with no visible stains or faults. Please note, we have lightened the black to show the details of the dress - there is no fade. We estimate that this is a best fit for up to a UK 10-12 or US 6-8.
