Classic 1970s Biba by Barbara Hulanicki Purple Metallic Lame Party Dress size_14 With its metallic gold butterfliesPlayful yet vampy in that particularly Biba style! The shimmering purple metallic dress falls slightly above the knee, has long sleeves, an empire waist, deep V neckline, and ribbon waist tie on back. The dress is fantastic, with subtle 1970s does Victorian details like the puffed shoulders, pinched bustline, and pointed sleeve. The deep purple is so totally Biba, we can just picture it in the boudoir like atmosphere of the Big Biba department store
