1970s cocktail dress 1970s 80s Vintage Cocktail Dress with Boa Trim US Union Made Size 8 – Poppy's Vintage ClothingThis is a vintage cocktail dress, designed with a dramatic feather trimmed neckline attached to delicate spaghetti straps. The dress features a fitted bodice, a defined satin waist band, and a pleated skirt that falls below the knee, creating a classic evening silhouette. The feather trim forms a built in boa effect across the neckline and shoulders. While often generically referred to as marabou, the trim here is most consistent with processed turkey

This is a vintage cocktail dress, designed with a dramatic feather-trimmed neckline attached to delicate spaghetti straps. The dress features a fitted bodice, a defined satin waist band, and a pleated skirt that falls below the knee, creating a classic evening silhouette.

The feather trim forms a built-in “boa” effect across the neckline and shoulders. While often generically referred to as marabou, the trim here is most consistent with processed turkey feathers, which were widely used in American eveningwear as a legal and practical substitute for true marabou. The feathers are soft, evenly cut, and securely attached, with good fullness and movement.

This dress is American union made, bearing an ILGWU label used between 1974 and 1995. Based on the label, construction, and silhouette, the dress most likely dates to the late 1970s to early 1980s, a period when feather-trimmed cocktail dresses were popular for evening and party wear.

The dress fastens at the back with a zipper and is lined at the bodice only.

Material: Likely polyester or poly blend (typical of the period)

Size:  Labeled as a size 8, but please rely on the following measurements for fit, measured flat and doubled where appropriate:

Bust: 36 inches

Waist: 27 inches

Hips: 38 inches (falls loosely)

Length: 41 inches

Condition:  In very good condition. The feathers are full and secure with no bald spots noted. Fabric is clean and presents well, with no noted wear, tear, soiling, staining or odour.

This is a wonderful example of a vintage cocktail dress - attractive style, sure to be noticed!

Parents beware!
Format: Hardcover
This books is about a trans child running away from home and it basically teaches children how to do it. Nearly a step by step example. Then at the end of the book the author offers “resources” and advice. The first advice the author gives is “this book itself is the advice” (meaning: run away from home) and then the author lists ways a child can get around their parents. Even telling children that if they have parental control features on their phones preventing them from looking up stuff (assuming “resources” to run away) that they can go to the library, even suggesting they ride their bike to the library so their parents don’t know, to look up “resources” at the library. My daughter was somewhat disturbed by this book. She said: “I feel like it’s trying to brainwash me into hating you! I had to remind myself of who I am like every chapter. I’m afraid for kids who don’t know better.” Parents beware!

Nasty
Format: Hardcover
Terrible blaming parent for trying to protect their child. She is committing a great moral evil. Shame on Dial Books for Young Readers for greenlighting a book with such a false, evil, and vindictive premise.

ONE did it again!
Format: Paperback
Fantastic start to a new series. I honestly never expected for him to come up with another interesting idea, I thought this would be another one punch man or mob situation of the overpowered MC. And without spoiling anything, it’s not that. Everything to the art work and the characters is amazing. Go PICK IT UP!

Very Original!
Format: Kindle
This is an interesting story with several unexpected twists, with very nice and dynamic artwork. Let's see if the premise actually holds up in the next volumes.
