Description

This is a pretty pink strapless vintage Victor Costa dress that was purchased at Bergdorf Goodman in the 1980's. It has boning or "stays" in the bodice, and two black bows at the waist that have beads hanging from the center. The pretty full skirt has three layers of black tulle and a short layer of pink tulle for added fullness under two layers of pleated pink tulip "petals". The dress is made of cotton and acetate moire matte satin and is lined in pink in the bodice, and black in the skirt.

This vintage party dress has incredible style, and is reminiscent of Christian Lacroix dresses of the same period. Victor Costa was known for being the "copycat" designer who took runway looks and made them more readily available to women in the US.

This fun dress would fit a US size 2/4. Please use the measurements below to ensure the perfect fit.

Measuring & Fit Guide

We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.

The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.

We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:

DRESSES		PANTS
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement.		Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement.		LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam.
HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement.		RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband.
LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement.		INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam.
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.**

*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.

**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve.
