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!

NOT FOR PLAYING CATCH.
Color: Blue
This toy is quite heavy, making it good for a chew toy or for fetch, but not for catch. It could very easily injure your dog as it damned near did mine.

Durable bone that you can add a spreadable treat to
Color: Blue
Our German Shepherd was 4 months old when we purchased this. She’s going to be 6 months soon. She has been teething really bad. We wanted some way to sooth her pain. This product was just what we needed. We put it in the freezer with some peanut butter in the center on both sides. Once frozen we give to our puppy. She loves it. When we open the freezer she recognizes the ziplock package that it was delivered in which we store it in our freezer. She jumps around until we give it to her. She loves it and it keeps her occupied for a while. It is very durable. I did not notice any smell when we received it. It does not make any noise. The plastic material is safe for animals. To clean I put in the dishwasher. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because sometimes the peanut butter gets stuck in it and may need to go through the dishwasher twice which is not a big deal. Or you can hand wash it. I found the dishwasher was best for us. You do not even have to put anything on it, but our pup likes it. I would recommend to others.

Great toy for a very active chewer
Color: Green, Pattern Name: Hammerhead Shark, Color: Green, Pattern Name: Hammerhead Shark
My Pomsky who is 9 months has destroyed every toy we’ve gotten him so far and he LOVES this one. He took to it right from the box and hasn’t let it leave his side since. It’s a very durable, hard, chew resistant material and I have a feeling it’s going to last him a long time. Highly recommend! His smile says it all 😊
