It was all hand done onto lace applique and then these were hand applied to the dress

Made of a fine silk knit t is as exquisitely on as you would expect from Azzedine

1970s Silver Applique Velvet Victor Costa Gown designer-jacques-heim It was all hand doneThis late seventies gown from Victor Costa is pretty fabulous. I am not normally a huge fan of velvets but for some reason the edgy mix of the black edged silver lame detailing puts this gown into a category all on its own. It is cut to hug every curve and follow the lines of the girl wearing it. It has a sexy rounded and scooped bodice that gives it an Old Hollywood feel and I love how the silver detailing is set so it trails up and over the top
