Vintage Clothing - Pink Fascination Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Pink Fascination Dress

$210.00 $150.00 Save $60.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This divine eyelash lurex and silk dress is an absolutely beautiful representation of our fashion history. There is sadly an area where the fabric has been damaged but we believe moving the bow over the top of that area or, some other creative endeavour true to the era will bring it back to its former glory. The piece has purposely had the hem let down for dry cleaning and to ensure fabric colour is even throughout should the bottom of the garment be needed for any alterations such as an overskirt.

Leave 'as is' and wear it to an evening event - no one would notice this area of concern! This beauty is certainly a little something for any formal event. Perfect for a wedding or adapted for the races - its a winner with 'great bones'.

Dress up or down as you choose! The delicate neckline and flattering shape of this dress is easy to imagine would look great with strappy sandals or elegant pumps.
