VTG S 70s Victor Costa Gown Evening Dress Seashell Ruffle Shelf Bust Taffeta


Vintage Victor Costa Elegant Evening Dress with POCKETS

Sensational Seashell Ruffle.....Shelf Bust

Iridescent Plum Taffeta

Special Event.....Oscar Party


Up for bid is sensational 70s evening dress from "Victor Costa ltd". There are no fiber content tags but the plum iridescent colored taffeta material makes that wonderful rustle sound when the wearer moves. Although there are no size tags, it measures small. Please see "How I Measure" and measurements below to ensure a proper fit.

Features of this sensational vintage dress include a sleeveless shelf bust with a seashell ruffle attached along the sweetheart necking, boning on the sides for shape, a pleated waistline, an extremely full skirt with two side pockets, matching ruffle along the asymmetrical hemline , inside pinked seams, and back zipper for closure. The bodice is lined.


There is a strip of fabric along the inside back seam which has me puzzled and I am not sure what it is for: it looks like a belt but half of it is attached to the zipper seam....the rest is loose and tied to not get in the way.


 Measurements: Underarm to Underarm 17 inches...Approx Bust 34, Underarm to waist 7 3/4 inches, Side of waist to other side of waist 14 inches, Hips are full, and Underarm to bottom hem 48 1/4 inches in the front.....and 50 1/2 inches in the back. The sweep is 197 1/2 inches!


This vintage dress is in excellent condition with a few very minor flaws: There is a 1/2 inch open seam on the inside on the right side where the boning is sewn into the fabric (on the side, not top or bottom so the boning is not coming through).....and there are pin holes on the skirt which only show when held up to the light. It could benefit from a proper cleaning as there is surface dirt along the edge of the bodice.

International bidders welcome! First Class International and International Priority will both be offered. Please note that if the package weighs more than 4 pounds, the package must be shipped Priority. Buyer is responsible for all applicable duties, taxes, and custom fees. Custom forms will not be altered (please do not ask us to do it).

Please make sure the item is allowed to be shipped to your country prior to bidding or purchase.

How I measure clothing: Measurements are of the garment...not the wearer. Please be sure to allow an inch of two for comfort. Garment is measured while flat on a table. Please measure clothing that fits you well before you place bid to make sure this garment will fit you. All clothing, unless otherwise noted, is in used condition and will show some signs of wear. I will do my best to note every flaw that I find in the auction's description. I am only human and may miss something.

Fiber Content Information/Cleaning/Mending: If the fiber content tag is still attached to the garment, I will state the information in the description. If there is no content tag, I will do my best to describe the material.... All garments will need to be hand laundered, machine laundered or dry cleaned prior to use, unless I state in the auction that I have cleaned it. Some vintage fabrics require professional dry cleaning and I do not have a reliable cleaner in my area. Other vintage fabrics require special care and I dare not attempt using harsh chemicals or risk damage to the item. I will, however, clean garments if I feel comfortable doing so.

Due to my lack of sewing skills, any item requiring mending will be left to the new owner.
