Stunning 1980s vintage cocktail dress by the British occasionwear label Frank Usher. Known for theatrical, red-carpet-inspired eveningwear, Frank Usher was a staple of 1980s London party fashion.
It features a classic 1980s "prom" or "babydoll" party silhouette with a fitted, structured bodice that dips into a sharp basque (V-shaped) drop waist, flaring out into a voluminous, above-the-knee skirt.
The bodice is heavily embellished with all-over matte and glossy black sequins and supported by internal boning to hold its corset-like shape. The wide, off-the-shoulder sweetheart neckline is framed by gathered tulle and ruffled black floral lace straps. The full skirt is constructed from multiple layers of stiff black net tulle over a solid lining to give it volume, finished with tiered horizontal bands of floral lace trim along the hem.
This is a stunning one of kind vintage dress perfect for the festive season.
