List your worst vintage buy here.

Definately the 90's 50's pink suit (if that makes any sense) and the stained lot full of rags and dirty addidas tops, both from the same seller. Plus side on that lot was that I did manage to get a few 70's hostess dresses from it.

My worst vintage buy?

This is a fabulous dress in it's own right.

But for me it is my worst buy not only because it will not fit me too small around the bust but also because I cannot see any one else wearing it as you see.
I know nothing about it!, on the positive side it only cost £20

So what is it:- A long evening dress in black satin sort of fabric with a very nice textured pattern.Date I do not know was told it could be oldish?
What make this dress strange to me is that it fastens up at the back with Hooks & Eyes up the back of the bodice offset to the right, then just below the waist their are a line of press studs making a sort of wide flap so you can step into it.

Has any one any thought why this is, I fid think it could be for a quick change in a theatre or was it just how it is made then
It was suggested when I bought it that if it was to small around the top for me as it is that it could be made into a skirt as the waist and hips are my size.
Would this be sacrificing what could be a good dress to someone?
Any thoughts about this dress is appreciated.
