This elegant evening dress was designed in the 1970's by Victoria Royal and sold at Robinson's in California. The outer layer of the dress is a fine sheer champagne mesh fabric that is covered in beads, embroidery, faux pearls, paillettes and rhinestones. The dress has a pale neutral underslip that is separate from the outer layer. Both layers have back center zippers and hook and eyes for closure. This is such an elegant, neutral toned evening gown that is so sophisticated and chic! Measurements are taken on the underlayer which is like a slip, the outer layer is looser and has a straight fit. We estimate this dress to fit a modern day US size 4, but reviewing the measurements is always the best way to determine if something will fit when buying vintage...

An ethereal 1970's British custom couture ivory gown that effortlessly mixes the bohemian vibe with 1930's Old Hollywood glamour. I definitely think this beauty would make an epic resort party or bridal look. The fabrics used work absolutely perfect together; a semi-sheer cotton gauze blend mixed with netted filet lace and thick corded crochet lace. The bodice is framed with gorgeous scalloped trim and the prettiest winged flutter sleeves. This figure flattering gown with a flirty low backside accentuates the waist while skimming the hips with yards and yards of skirting. The knotted fringe detail adds such fantastic depth and texture. It is impeccably hand crafted and on the level of modern day couture. Here is a show-stopper with attitude and elegant.
