This elegant vintage original dress is in a 'wounded bird condition'. A little something to wear for any formal event to make a statement with a few tweaks here and there this wonderful piece could be brought back to an original glory - or, wear as is and ignore!

We suggest taking it in where there are issues (as shown), shortening or embellishing with bling or vintage lace. Your creativity is the only limit with this beautiful piece!

Perfect for swanning in to a room at a ball, black tie or appropriate for a wedding. 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.
