1970s Designer Vintage Trina Lewis Black Evening Dress Size 8

 

 

Designer Vintage Trina Lewis & Marjon Couture for Baker Sportswear, this striking 1970s evening dress is the definition of understated drama, combining fluid movement with sculptural shape in a way only true vintage does so well. Crafted in England, it carries that unmistakable boutique-level quality and design sensibility of the era. The bodice is beautifully ruched throughout, softly gathering the fabric to create a flattering, sculpted fit across the bust, while delicate slim straps keep the silhouette light and feminine. From the cinched waist, the dress falls into a sweeping, fluid skirt that moves effortlessly with the body, finishing in a dramatic handkerchief hem that dips into elegant points for added movement and visual impact. The fabric has a smooth, slightly weighty feel with a gentle stretch, allowing the dress to drape beautifully while maintaining its structure. The all-black colour keeps it timeless and endlessly versatile, while the cut and movement give it that unmistakable 70s disco-era elegance — perfect for evening wear, events, or styled more modern with boots and a leather jacket for contrast. A true statement piece that feels both classic and bold, and increasingly hard to find with this level of design detail and wearable condition. In very good vintage condition with only light signs of wear consistent with age.

    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.
