Description

Love the dramatic ruffle waist on this beautiful black velvet and taffeta party dress by Gigi Young. Simple velvet bodice, fitted bust and waist with a scooped back. Great waistline with a band of taffeta fabric trimmed with ruffles and a button offset to the right side. Swishy taffeta fabric skirt, almost full circle, with a ring of embroidered trim. Metal zipper up the back.

label: Gigi Young, New York

condition: very good. Selling as-is, but just minor repairs that you may not even notice, like tacking down a corner and a missing hook. On close inspection there is noticeable iron shine/wear around the front waistband, you can see a shiny line in close-ups, but this shows up more in photos than in person due to the very bright flash. A small frayed hole on the back ruffle right next to the zipper, probably where the zipper caught at some point – small and not noticeable. Faint trace of an old seam around 12” up from the hem, not noticeable.
