1970s Silver Applique Velvet Victor Costa Gown designer-todd-oldham I know the pictures cannot

I know the pictures cannot come close to conveying the beauty of this coat

Simple but sensual

It is not so heavy that it is unwieldy but it of a weight that when on the shape you see is held perfectly

Signed items retain original gilt gilt metal clip backs

This hat is sublime

1970s Silver Applique Velvet Victor Costa Gown designer-todd-oldham I know the pictures cannotThis 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
