1980s Casadei Black Ruched Turquoise Sequinned Dress with Cape

£495.00
This is a super sexy 1980s Casadei black stretch chiffon dress with front ruching and a turquoise sequinned attached capelet. Typical of its era, this dress has such great design features especially the flattering draping and ruching as well as the sheer cape area embellished beautifully with iridescent blue and green sequins taking a floral motif pattern. The main bodice of the dress is a manmade fabric while the sheer cape appears to be a silk chiffon. The skirt flows elegantly from the ruched bodice down to just below the knee. The dress is fully lined and the label reads Casadei, which is a heritage Italian high end shoe brand but also briefly forayed into fashion during the 80s and 90s. The dress is in very good vintage condition with the sequins retaining their colour and pattern. There are some minor pulls of the fabric of the bodice but these are not noticeable due to the ruching. There is no sizing label so we estimate this to be best suited for sizes up to a UK 12 - US 8. Our model here is a UK 8-10 but it also has been worn by a UK 12-14 as there is some give in the hip.

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 - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 
Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
