1980s Designer Vintage Trina Lewis & Marjon Couture Strapless Floral Ball Gown Size 10
Designer Vintage Trina Lewis & Marjon Couture at its absolute best – a truly breathtaking 1980s occasion gown that feels just as relevant and striking today as it would have on a couture dancefloor. The fabric alone is enough to stop you in your tracks: a rich, luminous floral with painterly blooms in jewel tones of teal, sapphire blue, violet and soft cream, woven with the most subtle metallic sheen that catches the light beautifully with delicate gold flecks. It has that unmistakable high-end vintage quality – structured yet fluid, with a luxurious weight and movement that gives it real presence. The bodice is expertly constructed with a reinforced, sculpted bust that can be worn strapless for a dramatic, elegant neckline, or with the slim black straps for added support. A defined seamed waist is accentuated by a statement bow detail, drawing the eye in before the skirt falls away into a full, sweeping silhouette. The skirt is where the magic really happens – voluminous and theatrical, supported by built-in netting and layered underskirts that hold its shape perfectly while allowing it to move with incredible fluidity. The back zip fastening ensures a clean, tailored fit in keeping with its couture-level construction. Labelled Trina Lewis & Marjon Couture, made in England, this is a standout designer piece that beautifully captures the glamour and craftsmanship of the era while still feeling completely wearable for modern events. This is the kind of dress that needs very little styling – let it do the talking with simple heels and minimal jewellery, or go full drama with bold earrings and a sleek updo for a true vintage couture moment. In very good vintage condition.

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.
