Miss Bergdorf sequined evening dress, 1970s
The Miss Bergman label from Bergdorf Goodman produced a ready-to-wear line for younger customers. From European couture shows, buyers for the line brought ideas home to be reinterpreted for mass production.
The eye-catching evening dress is so sexy and very now, as today's longer look is a nod to the 1970s. Designer Sonia Rykiel says the new longer lengths are here to lift us up above the mundanities of daily life, as in the 1970s in an economic downturn.
The black-on-black design is a timeless classic; the deep front slit in the skirt and the plunging-to-the-waist back add sizzle. Fashioned from black crepe covered with sparkling black sequins, the dress is lined with black China silk and has a built-in boned bra. The skirt closes in back with a narrow coiled zipper.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
It measures: 40" bust, 32" waist, 40" hip, and 54" center-front length. The full-length dress appears shorter in the pictures due to the angle of the camera.
