1980s Marjon Couture Lilac Evening Maxi Dress 2017_dress chocolate and purpleThis high quality 1970s bright lilac evening dress was made by British label Trina Lewis and Marjon Couture at Baker Sportswear. The dress has a bustier top which is boned all the way around, held up by two delicate shoulder straps. The bust is lined with pale pink lilac satin. The fabric is cut generously to give a bouncy silhouette; the pretty neckline is formed from layers of lilac faux taffeta and the waist is ruched as though a sash is wrapped
