Daily eBay – Vintage 80s Cocktail Party Dress

Vintage 80s Cocktail Party Dress

Metallic glamour is rocking the catwalks this season in the form of sprayed on leggings at Armani Exchange, explosions of shine and shimmer on Anya Hindmarch and Moschino handbags and Jimmy Choo’s new mysterious metallic python snake platforms. This fabulous prom style dress is dripping in 1980s puff-ball frivolity and echoes the metallic trend we are seeing at the moment. Mandy Barder picks today’s Daily eBay.

The top half of the dress is plain black with batwing sleeves and dainty little shoulder pads while the bottom half flows into a striking skirt with large metal and silver roses on. This gives it instant rock chic kudos, yet still allows it to be pretty and demure. Made for a size 16 but fits the seller perfectly who is a size 10-12 because the cut is meant to be loose, hence why an attractive black sash is included to be worn around the waist or hips. A military biker leather jacket as seen at Sienna and Savannah Miller’s label Twenty8Twelve would work fantastically with this dress with either ankle boots or sky high platforms.

Auction ends 29/11/09 and the starting bid is an astonishing £3.99.
