Original 1970s Designer Vintage Radley Black Textured Evening Dress Size 12
Designer Vintage Radley evening dress from the 1970s, crafted in England and showcasing the label’s reputation for high-fashion occasionwear. This is a beautifully considered piece, understated in silhouette but rich in texture and detail. The dress is cut in a clean, elongated shape that skims the body, allowing the fabric to take centre stage. The surface is heavily textured with a dense, tactile finish that catches the light with a subtle shimmer, giving the illusion of movement and depth. It has that signature 1970s eveningwear feel — refined, slightly dramatic, and effortlessly elegant. Delicate shoulder straps in a deep plum tone add a soft contrast against the black, while the back zip fastening keeps the overall look sleek and uninterrupted. Fully lined for comfort, with a structured, non-stretch feel that holds its shape beautifully. This is a quietly striking piece — perfect for evening events, formal occasions, or styled more casually with boots for a modern take. It’s the kind of dress that doesn’t shout, but absolutely stands out. In very good vintage condition with only light signs of wear consistent with age.

MEASURED & READY TO WEAR
Carefully measured, described and prepared — no surprises.
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
