About the Item
A breathtaking piece of 1970s American couture, this black lace and taffeta evening gown by Ronald Amey is a rare find for collectors of fine vintage fashion. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the gown features a stunning floral lace bodice layered over sheer netting, paired with a beautifully darted full skirt made from what appears to be a luxurious silk taffeta (fabric not labeled).
The design showcases Amey’s signature sophistication: romantic bishop sleeves, a high stand collar, and a detachable oversized bow belt in matching black silk that accentuates the waist. The gown fastens in back with a half zipper, along with hook-and-eye and snap closures. The craftsmanship and materials throughout are unmistakably couture quality.
Perfect for black-tie events, formal parties, gala evenings, and holiday celebrations, this striking 1970s gown offers timeless elegance with dramatic presence.
