Mary McFadden evening dress, 1980s vintage Lilac Silver fortuny pleats plisse cocktail party dress

vintage Mary McFadden evening dress in all 1980s glamour.
Softest Lilac Silver fabric with the famous fortuny pleats plisse.
Knee length cocktail party dress is a bit more understated than her full length gowns.

We all know her fabric; pleated dresses that she said she wanted to fall “like liquid gold” down a woman’s body. Unlined skirt and lightweight.
Fitted bodice with a ruffled neckline and sturdy shoulder pads to support the puff in the sleeves.
Braid goes across the shoulder with silver metallic threads making a fringe.
Long sleeves.
Side zipper.
Skirt actually fuller than it would appear.
Classic and simple design is accented at the V waist with a silver metallic cord band.

Excellent condition.
