Description

Fantastic example of late 1980s and early 1990s partywear by a short lived, high quality boutique label called Katerina. It s British made from acetate taffeta in a deep olive green. The fabric is such good quality that we thought it was silk, prior to seeing the fabric label.

It has a sweetheart neckline with boning, a Princess seamed bodice and an inverted waist line. The skirt is gathered in a sort of pannier style with additional panelled flounces to the side to create volume. It fastens to the rear with the original concealed zip hidden by a placket. It has a separate skirt lining made of polyester with a tulle net flounce in black to lift the skirt panels. The bodice is lined in soft feel polyester for comfort.

Great vintage condition, no issues noted and although labelled a UK 10, it is a little smaller by today s standards and better suited to UK size 8 or US 4. Our very tanned model is a UK size 6-8.
