About the Item

Liza Bruce began her fashion career designing innovative, high-end bathing suits in 1982. In 1988, Bruce added ready-to-wear to her brand’s offering, bringing her talent for combining unusual materials and sensuous, highly revealing tailoring to this arena. This body con dress was worn by Yasmin Le Bon and she walked the runway for the brand many times in the ‘80s. With its clingy nylon-spandex construction and teasing peekaboo mesh, it blurs the line between swimwear and ready-to-wear and is perfect for a party. The dress is cut to a high-neck, mini-dress silhouette with cut-outs that reveal the polka-dot mesh at the chest, waist, back and side of the skirt. This dress is in fantastic vintage condition with no faults. The composition label states that it is 95% Nylon and 5% Spandex. Labelled a size Medium but please check our measurements below carefully. The fabric has stretch which allows for about 1cm of flexibility on the below measurements. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163 cm) and this dress fit her well. As it is body con we recommend this dress to be suitable for up to a UK 10 or US 6. MEASUREMENTS UNSTRETCHED: BUST: 34 in.

1990s Lindka Cierach Couture Beaded Shift Dress
Located in London, GB
Late 1990s to 2000s Lindka Cierach couture beaded dress which takes some of its inspiration from the Art Deco and flapper style dresses of the early 1920s, with a distinctly modern flair. It has a lovely weight to it, reflective of both its quality and the two layers of silk satin underlay, which make it extra comfortable for the wearer. The exterior is made up of a beautiful mink/taupe shade of silk chiffon with beaded overlay, in tones of silver, champagne and gold. The beading arrangements feature geometric lines of sequins, floral and star shapes, as well as eight spoke wheel designs sewn with tiny, almost iridescent beads. The dress is cut in a classic shift shape, with a slightly dropped hem, and fastens down the centre back with a neatly concealed zip, topped off with a hook and eye closure. It is in fabulous vintage condition, with no faults to note. This particular example of her work would best suit around a size 10 UK, or 6 US but could accommodate sizes either side, depending on fit. Notes on Designer: Lindka Cierach began creating elegant outfits (prices started at £4,500) at her studio in London’s South Kensington in 1979. She rose to fame in the 1980s, after designing the Duchess of York...

1980s Charles Jourdan Black Cold Shoulder Dress
By Charles Jourdan
Located in London, GB
I love the simplicity of form of this early 1980s Charles Jourdan black cocktail dress. It has a wide boatneck and fantastic cold shoulder sleeve so that the top of the arm is exposed. The sleeve itself is batwing and very tapered, finishing in a neat, buttoned cuff. The pattern on the fabric reminds me of the lines created by waves hitting a sandy beach. Its such an interesting jacquard silk feel material with the way that the weft and warp has been woven creating both matte and satin finishes to bring out a two-dimensional look. The dress it has a thigh high split...
