1980s | Judith Ann Creations | Embellished Evening Top - 16

Description:

Item:
Original Judith Ann Creations evening top from the 1980s, heavily embellished with sequins and beadwork throughout. Black ground with dramatic silver sequin detailing across the shoulders and chest, long sheer sleeves, and a sharply pointed handkerchief-style hem that gives the piece real movement and presence. Loose, easy fit through the body with all the impact carried in the surface and silhouette.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
Judith Ann Creations

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents beautifully overall with strong embellishment coverage and excellent visual impact. Light, honest age only, with no major issues visible from the front.

Provenance Note:
A properly theatrical 1980s evening piece with all the detail and shape that made Judith Ann so collectible. The silver sequin bursts across the shoulders and chest give it instant stage presence, while the beaded black ground and pointed hem keep the whole thing feeling rich and deliberate from every angle. It has the sort of decoration and silhouette that turns it from a simple evening top into a piece with real occasion value.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
