Fun and fabulous 1970’s Mary McFadden black romper jumpsuit with exotic braided belt.

The former owner added the braided belt which adds a touch of rich burgundy red color and antiqued metallic shine but there are so many ways to style this design including a different belt or forgo something at the waist for a dramatic collar necklace. Footwear could also create a different vibe … anything from boots to strappy heels to pointy mules. This jumper may...
