Absolutely stunning cocktail dress made in charcoal taffeta with a black organza skirt. Lush fabric roses sit across the off the shoulder neckline and the fitted boned bodice with basque waistline is incredibly flattering. The softly gathered skirt is mid calf in length so this would make a perfect bridesmaid or cocktail dress.
This dress was made by iconic New Zealand clothing company - Thornton Hall and was someone's "go to" dress. It has been well worn and efforts to restore it included, replacing all boning, new hems, strap repairs, new shoulder strap elastic and all fabric roses have been checked and re-sewn on. New mini organza roses have been added throughout the skirt to cover a sprinkling of tiny holes. There remains some small nibbles in the taffeta at the side seam, not too obvious with all the details in this dress but evident from a well worn and loved dress! This dress has been to some parties but is ready for a few more!
