Timeless American quiet luxury meets modern mobwife style with this stunning 1980s/early 1990s vintage cocktail dress designed by Marie Gray for St. John! This isn’t your ordinary little black dress…with its perfectly structured shoulders, and that showstopper of a back (wow!). The front has a sophisticated mock neck, long sleeves, and a classic midi pencil skirt. But that back…dramatic, architectural, plunging open-back, fastened at the neck with two gold buttons. Elegant, sophisticated, and ridiculously sexy, it brilliantly executes a "business in the front, party in the back" silhouette. ;) This one’s for the real high-end vintage collectors and anyone ready to step up their game! Made from St. John's legendary, world-renowned Santana knit fabric (a premium blend of mid-weight wool and rayon), this dress offers impeccable structure, excellent natural stretch, wrinkle resistance, and a heavy, luxurious drape that holds its shape flawlessly. Made in the USA. Excellent vintage condition. No notable flaws, snags, pulling, or piling to the knit fabric. Tagged vintage size 12. Fits a modern size medium.
