About the Item

This glamorous cocktail dress was designed by American dressmaker Beginnings during the 1970s. Tailored from black crepe, the fabric falls in a column style which curves and wraps around the body. It has delicate black spaghetti straps which are adjustable and tie at the shoulder. Around the top of the dress is a panel of embellished fabric, detailed with rows of glistening black sequins. At the front of the dress, where the draped fabric meets the top of the dress, there is a large sequin-covered bow. The dress fastens under the left arm with a hidden zip and hook-and-eye clasp. Unlined, except where the sequins sit to ensure a comfortable wear. In excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. It has no size or composition labels and retains the ILGWU union label for the period 1974 and 1995. The fabric has no stretch and we believe it would best fit a UK size UK 8-10, US 4-6 with plenty of room in the waist and hip. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 33 in. (84 cm) WAIST - 41 in. (104 cm) HIP - 44 in.
