VINTAGE 1980s NEW LILLIE RUBIN PINK BACKLESS HALTER COCKTAIL DRESS ENCRUSTED WITH SILVER BEADS AND SHOT

This is gorgeous NEW 1980s vintage cocktail dress by Lillie Rubin with sparkling silver shot and beads. The beading and shot are gorgeous as they sparkle so much and will be sparkling even more under evening lighting.  In most of the photos it was hard to make the right color of pink for the dress and it kept darkening the silver shot when I did.  Look at the close ups of the halter and you will see that the silver shot and beads are brilliant sparkling silver to go with the pink dress. The label is identical to one from the Vintage Fashion Guild from the 1980s and my thanks to them.

The dress has a halter look with a low back with a pink invisible zipper.  It is fully lined with no exposed seams against one’s body.  Hook and eye above the zipper.  2 long satin ribbons to slip over a hanger so the backless dress will not fall off.

There is a Disclaimer Tag on the back which I am going to leave as it shows it is a new dress since the tag has not been taken off.  The disclaimer note say the original buyer could return the dress to the ORIGINAL store where it was purchased which was a Lillie Rubin store in the 1980’s but tag does not apply to the returning the dress in this listing and it is not returnable.  I only left it on to show that it has not been worn by anyone since it is on the lower skirt area in back.

You don't see this type of beaded evening dresses this fabulous nowadays - perfect for a formal affair, New Year’s Eve, Christmas party, a wedding or a cruise whenever you want to look glamorous - You will have all heads turning when you walk in wearing this fabulous evening dress by the famous and loved Lillie Rubin!

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 as there is no return on clothing or other items.
