Description
Experience true vintage luxury with this exquisite 1980s Mary McFadden pleated evening gown, a signature example of her iconic Fortuny-inspired textile work. Crafted in a luminous aqua-turquoise hue, the gown features McFadden’s renowned permanently-pleated fabric—celebrated for its elegant drape, sculptural texture, and remarkable ability to retain shape. This colorway is especially striking, offering a soft yet vibrant glow that makes the piece instantly recognizable as McFadden’s refined eveningwear artistry.
A graceful scoop neckline, long slim sleeves, and a sleek column silhouette create the perfect blend of modern minimalism and 1980s goddess-style glamour. The gown finishes in a softly flounced lower tier, adding movement and dimension to the otherwise fluid line of the dress. Styled with a belt for shape (belt not included), it stands beautifully on its own as a timeless, collectible designer piece.
