1970s Silver Applique Velvet Victor Costa Gown designer-jacques-heim The sleeves are left unlined

The sleeves are left unlined and each snaps at the wrist so you get a soft billow effect

It was all hand done onto lace applique and then these were hand applied to the dress

Hand finished and very well made

Made of a fine silk knit t is as exquisitely on as you would expect from Azzedine

The embellishment n the bodice is of course the most beautiful detail - it rings the waist and goes up the front and right around the neck

1970s Silver Applique Velvet Victor Costa Gown designer-jacques-heim The sleeves are left unlinedThis late seventies gown from Victor Costa is pretty fabulous. I am not normally a huge fan of velvets but for some reason the edgy mix of the black edged silver lame detailing puts this gown into a category all on its own. It is cut to hug every curve and follow the lines of the girl wearing it. It has a sexy rounded and scooped bodice that gives it an Old Hollywood feel and I love how the silver detailing is set so it trails up and over the top
