1990s Fuchsia Silk Halter-Neck Midi Dress
This 1990s cocktail length dress is crafted from the most fabulous shade of fuchsia silk satin fabric with a high-sheen finish. It has a playful halter-neckline and softly pleated bust. The body panel is ruched from the side seams, resulting in a sensuous, body-skimming fit. The skirt is cut from swathes of fuchsia satin; it has two front slits trimmed with chiffon ruffles. The dress fastens under the left arm with a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasp. It is lined with fuchsia chiffon from the bust down. A very well made dress, the boutique label reads “Unique - just be you”.
In really great vintage condition with no issues; it looks like it was barely worn. The composition label reads “100% Silk” with “100% Polyester” lining. It is labelled a size medium and will fit a range of sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6 and of course, sizes smaller.

F.A.Q.
Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website. We have an extensive offline collection. It is helpful if you can let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear. You may also wish to bring favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying-on, or gold and silver. We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look. Many of which are also for sale.
Do you have a price range?
Many of our lower priced pieces, under £250, are not available to buy online. Dresses usually start at £150 and go up to £30,000 for the very best archival couture. Our bridalwear price points range from £1,000 to £20,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?
Yes but please do let us know the size of your party in advance.
Where can I get alterations?
We offer some alterations in house. Should you need alterations we cannot provide, we can refer you to one of our tried and trusted tailors.
