This dreamy vintage 1980s Victor Costa pastel floral dress features the most 1980s shape, including voluminous puff sleeves, and a fitted princess-seam bodice with a dropped waist. It subtly creates an hourglass shape. These puff sleeves are really exaggerated, which I love, with tulle on the interior to help them hold their shape. There is some versatility with the neckline, as the sleeves can be worn off the shoulder, and can also be pulled up and worn on the shoulder; there is hidden elastic at the top of the sleeve that allows it to firmly stay in place no matter how you wear it. The fitted bodice gives way to a fuller skirt— there is a built-in tulle petticoat to support the fullness of the skirt. The pastel floral print feels like it was painted in watercolor, with all the best spring-y colors. The material is exceptionally soft and slinky. (Fiber contents are not listed but it feels like a cotton/silk blend.) The bodice is fully lined and it closes in the back with a zipper. Made in the USA. After studying in Paris, Victor Costa got his start in the New York fashion world making wedding gowns, and he translated that same fantasy into his subsequent foray in the ready-to-wear world. In 1973, he started his own eponymous label, Victor Costa, and cultivated a large following of customers and fans, including Whitney Houston and the cast of the television series Dynasty. Costa is best known for his decidedly "American" interpretation of European couture.

Great choice
Color: Light Brown
I probably lost a good 40 bags in a house fire and am just now able to begin to replace them. I made a good choice starting with Iswee! The quality and craftsmanship is top notch! Easy to get into and find items right away! The leather is soft and sturdy and the color is great! I would have rather the hardware be done in an antique finish rather than a shiny silver but it’s okay. I’m going to enjoy carrying this bag! Thank you

YOU MUST BUY!!
Color: Green, Color: Green
Hello, This is the first ever review that I’ve ever written. I couldn’t wait for this bag to arrive, and it came today as scheduled. It IS THE MOST - ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL - as soon as I opened the packaging I could smell the leather! - the “colour” lol is RICH! I am a GREEN everything person, and this green is STUNNING! The QUALITY is great and appears to be VERY DURABLE. The inside is EXTREMELY roomy and deep, which is good for me because I’m lazy about zipping my purse up. BUT the zipper glides with ease. It’s a medium weight purse, so be aware of what you’re putting in there lol Value wise, it’s definitely worth the money and it looks MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than it actually costs! I took the strap through and made it a shoulder strap also. I WILL definitely be buying the burgundy one next! Thank You ISWEE BOBBETTE

Great Tote Bag
Color: Navy Blue
This a really nice bag! I can't wait to go on my trip. It is just the right size, not too big, not too small. It holds a lot of things and I can reach in and see all of it. I like that it has the shoulder strap that you can either keep on or take off. The leather is so soft and looks beautiful. Seems to be really well made and I will have it for a long time and plan on using it every time we travel.

Gorgeous Bag
Color: Brown
Love my bag! The leather is so soft and a beautiful color. I was worried that it wouldn't look and feel as good as what was pictured. I am very particular about my leather goods and it is gorgeous. I get compliments on it every time I wear it.
