Meet Blackness, she is an insane and rare 1970s silk taffeta blend plaid dream by Richard Shops. I love this dress, she is festive, yet she is gothic, and is just one of the coolest pieces to grace my rails. She has an epic silhouette with juliet sleeves, corseted bodice and a stunning front pleat skirt, and when worn she just looks divine. Her fabric is shimmery and beautiful, with an amazing soft stiffness, and is just so gorgeous and flattering to wear.. She is the perfect addition to any winter wardrobe..
This girl measures to approx UK size 12/14, could work on a 10.
Bust - up to 42" - 44" can be adjusted with corset.

For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
She has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear.
This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
