*VINTAGE "70S BLACK ILLUSION JEAN OF CALIFORNIA COCKTAIL DRESS ADORNED WITH CHANTILLY LACE

$ 169.99 $ 199.99

A beautiful vintage '70s Jean of California illusion cocktail dress adorned with black Chantilly lace.

There is set in sheer black nylon on the bodice for the illusion look so skin can show through. Hard to find sheer cap sleeves which are always so feminine.

Huge Chantilly lace appliques on the bodice as well as the back. Princess seaming front and back for a slimming look. I love how the dress was cut under the princess seams with a triangular set in piece of fabric to give it a bit of fullness.  (Shown in full length front view of lightened photo.)

Some of the photos have been lightened so the detail may be seen.

The back of the dress is just as beautiful with more sheer nylon on the top back with a long metal zipper under that. Thread hook and eyes above that. It was hard to see the top thread hook because of the dress being black but if it is not there, it can be hooked onto a thread of the Chantilly lace which will work. Dress is lined in a silky fabric. Vintage pinked seams in the dress. Long ribbons inside the dress to hang it on a hanger which is so helpful.

Very sophisticated and perfect for the holidays!

Condition: Very good - small separation on the back left hand shoulder which could be pulled together with a needle & thread - would not be that noticeable at night - easy fix - the binding has pulled away from the nylon on the end of one of the sleeves but it would be easy to pull together with a needle and thread - some store soiling on one sleeves and on skirt lower front which should come out with a cleaning which you would want to do anyhow before wearing (shown in photo)

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements. We hope you enjoy what you purchased but we know sometimes things do not fit quite as you would like or the color is wrong.  In that case, we do allow one exchange or a store credit on any item that you want. There are about 2,000 items in the store and more are being added all the time so you have a large selection to choose from.
