Vintage 1980s Purple Column Gown  / Michael Casey / Small
Vintage evening dress by Michael Casey. Strapless floor length dress with pleated horizontal bodcie which is structured inside. This is a beautiful art deco style dress, simple yet elegant and interesting. At the waist there is a cascading detail on the side that adds a touch of drama, with a soft, flowing element that contrasts nicely with the fitted upper part. The dress then fall into a long column vertically pleated skirt. This an elegant dress perfect for weddings and other black tie affairs. And though it is polyester it has the look and feel of silk. It is very high quality , this was sourced from the closet of a well to do neighborhood in NW Washington DC, a neighborhood where ambassadors and politicians live. This dress was no doubt worn to a gala or other black tie event. As you can see it did not zip up completely on my size 4 dress form however the measurements are below I encourage you to use them.
