𝅺Karen Lukas vintage dress in rich velour

This dress has both an exquisite look and an amazing story. The fabric is rich velour in a very dark purple that is almost blue. Neck line and back are both intricate. Measurements are: armpit to armpit is approximately 19”, length is 46”. Waistline is approximately 16”. My first American friend bought this dress for me in my first year in US, 30 years ago. Her brother had a black-tie wedding and she knew I could not afford anything like this. So the dress was gifted. Sadly it no longer fits.
