BNWT vintage Maria Bianca Nero green velvet silk winter formal evening dress

Absolutely stunning in person. I bought this off the rack at Neiman’s in 2005, ended up choosing to wear a different dress for the event, and this now-vintage gown has sat in my closet unworn ever since, because it never fit again. Despite technically being a Large, it fits like probably a size 8. Perfect for prom or a formal event, it has a green velvet bodice, empire waist accented by a beautiful beaded band, and long flowing green silk skirt that rustles when you move. Measurements are taken flat, and please note that this dress has zero stretch. Silk has some natural minor imperfections; see photos. Bust: 18 inches Empire waist (at beaded band): 16 inches Approximate natural waist (depends on your height): 18 or 19 inches Length from bottom of empire waist band to hem: 47.5 inches
