This piece really belongs in a serious collection or museum and is just as wearable today as it was over 50 years ago. This dark gold fabric label was the second Biba label and only in use from 1970 to 1972. It has been in our collection for many years as we have not wish to part with it! All original vintage Biba sizing runs small and this is most suitable now for a UK size 6-8, US size 0-2 with a good element of stretch. From a styling viewpoint, a ribbon or loop button closure could work to provide some coverage across the bust or lower down to create a single breasted blazer.
Condition wise, this is in excellent vintage condition and is well preserved. No missing sequins; some minor mottling to the sequin coatings commensurate with age.
