ARCHIVE - 1980s Katerina Strapless Olive Green Taffeta Dress 1980s_Vintage_Jacket The top of the bodiceFantastic example of late 1980s and early 1990s partywear by a short lived, high quality boutique label called Katerina. It's British made from acetate taffeta in a deep olive green. The fabric is such good quality that we thought it was silk, prior to seeing the fabric label. It has a sweetheart neckline with boning, a Princess seamed bodice and an inverted waist line. The skirt is gathered in a sort of pannier style with additional panelled flounces
