Custom 1970s does 1950s Rare "Victor Costa" Sample Piece Taffeta Party Dress with Huge Cotton Pique Collar, Pockets, & Wide Patent Leather Belt
Where do I begin with a piece THIS fabulous? When I found it, I literally almost wept it's so gorgeous.
Original 1970s does 1950s new look couture inspired inky black matte taffeta party dress with white cotton pique collar and matching wide patent leather belt by "Victor Costa."
I've never seen this Costa label before- it features a style number, date, and operator name. It was a sample piece, made before the mass production of its style. Being that I’ve never seen a piece by him like this, I’m guessing this perhaps might be very limited.
