Victor Costa, Black Polyester Taffeta Evening Dress
Full-length dress in black polyester taffeta. The large round neck opening is trimmed with heat-set pleated ribbon and lace. As the neck opening runs from shoulder to shoulder, the poof elbow-length sleeves are set directly in the neckline and mounted on elastic. The princess line bodice stops at natural waist with the gored skirting gathered directly into the waist. The hemline is trimmed with heat-pleated taffeta which is trimmed with lace. A covered zipper runs from neckline to hip level along center back. A belt loop is still attached to the right side seam which suggests that the dress used to be cinched with a waist belt covering the seam between the bodice and skirting. Only the bodice is lined in what appears to be acetate.
