1980s Casadei Blue Sequined Maxi Dress
About the Item
1980s blue sequinned maxi gown by Casadei, a heritage Italian shoe brand that also briefly forayed into luxury fashion during the 80s and 90s. These collections were retailed in the best US department stores of the day and designs featured in both the television dramas Dynasty and Dallas.
In a striking shade of cobalt blue with a high neck and V shaped front chest panel; the sleeves, like the front panel, are crafted from tulle mesh. The main body of the dress features vertical rows of iridescent sequins interspersed with rows of blue bugle beads. These are backed onto a georgette fabric which was chosen to keep the dress lightweight despite the lavish embellishment. The back is cut in a deep V, featuring an open cut-out trimmed with the same bugle beads and fastens with the original central zip. The shoulders are padded to create a structured silhouette. There is a left thigh slit for extra impact and ease of movement and the inside features an inner slip, cut from a soft blend blue poly fabric. In excellent vintage condition with no issues and very minimal losses. Will fit up to a US 4 or UK 8. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163 cm) and this dress fit her well.

1970s Documented Jean Varon Black Spider Cobweb Dress
By Jean Varon
Located in London, GB
Fine and rare Jean Varon spider cobweb dress which can be dated to the designer's 1973 collection and featured here in the September issue of British Vogue. Fashioned in a sleek black jersey with a slight sheen, it has faceted-domed glass buttons down the front and around the wide cuff billow sleeves. It has a half-length front hidden zip for ease of access. The embroidered tulle panel on the back with applications of beads and sequins forming spiders crawling around cobwebs and has made this dress the most prized of all John Bate's designs. They rarely come up for sale; this has been in Circa's collection nearly 20 years and is notably held in several fashion museums worldwide.
In fabulous vintage condition with absolutely no issues and is worthy of museum acquisition. The only thing if we're being very, very picky is that there are two tiny pin holes on the back near the right-hand seam; absolutely impossible to see when worn and only noticed when the dress was held to the light. It is best for a size UK 8 or US 4 and smaller on account of the small waist.
Notes on Designer: John Bates was a highly regarded British designer who began his label Jean Varon in 1959. Famous for sheer panels, short hemlines and bare midriffs, he was one of the pioneers of the miniskirt and trousers for women...
