Original 1980s Vintage Black Velvet Rara Party Dress Size 12 Fabulous 1980s vintage party dress in classic black velvet with striking midnight blue and black jacquard detailing, capturing that bold, playful 80s silhouette perfectly. The structured velvet bodice is lightly boned to create a flattering, shaped fit through the bust, while the soft sheen of the velvet adds a rich, luxurious feel. The standout feature is the diagonal tiered rara-style skirt panel, crafted from textured jacquard fabric in deep blue and black tones, adding movement, volume and a real sense of fun to the piece. A statement bow detail at the hip enhances the asymmetrical design and gives it that unmistakable 80s party aesthetic. The back features a shirred elastic panel for comfort and flexibility, allowing the dress to mould nicely to the body. Designed in a pull-on style with stretch through the bodice, making it both easy to wear and surprisingly comfortable for an evening piece. Label is Yessica by C&A, size 36. Measures approx 36" bust, 30" waist, free hips, 37" length. Best suited to a modern UK size 12. Perfect styled with heels and statement earrings for a full 80s party look, or dressed down slightly with boots and a leather jacket for a more contemporary edge.
