90's Richards Vintage Evening Cocktail Party dress. This is a vintage black and silver patterned dress with a long-sleeved, fitted bodice and a dramatic, asymmetrical ruffle or fishtail hem. The distinct zig-zag or geometric pattern and silhouette suggest it is likely an 80s vintage piece, a style popularized by designers like Victor Costa and Norma Kamali. The dress features a body-conscious or "wiggle" fit through the top and hips, a popular style in the 1980s. The skirt flares out into an eye-catching, long ruffle or "mermaid" hem that is longer on one side, known as an asymmetrical or handkerchief hem.

Shoulder to shoulder: 42cm

Richard Shops was founded in 1936 and was a ubiquitous part of British high streets and shopping centers from the 1960s to the 1990s, primarily selling youth-centric fashion.
