Victor Costa understood spectacle, and this gown delivers it: a boned corset bodice fitted to a sharp waist, a voluminous floor-length skirt with vertical knife pleats that generate serious movement, and a fan-pleated ruffle at the bust that frames the décolletage with real drama. The pleated flounce repeats at the hem, tying the silhouette together with a confident flourish. Practical details — concealed side pockets and a back zip — are seamlessly integrated. The aqua metallic lamé shifts between teal and silver depending on the light, making this one of those pieces that photographs beautifully and reads even better in person.\u003cbr\u003eCosta spent his career translating the vocabulary of 1950s couture into wearable American eveningwear, and this gown is a prime example: the proportions and pleating technique are pure New Look, the fabrication is unapologetically 1980s. A strong choice for anyone who wants a vintage ball gown with genuine presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✂️ M E A S U R E M E N T S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBust: up to 34\" \u003cbr\u003eWaist: up to 26\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 60\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits like a small \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Victor Costa \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: metallic lame\u003cbr\u003eCondition: excellent, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
