1980s Dramatic Black Strapless Bow Gown designer-frank-usher I love the piped bordersIf you are looking for a black gown that still makes a bold statement look no further! This gown has a definite nod to the 1960s but that extravagant bow detail that seems to flow from the very fabric of the dress is pure 1980s drama. It is cut strapless with bining through the bodice. The skirt is sleek and long with a vent at the back to allow you to walk. The bow begins as a panel of fabric set along one seam and then drapes across the front skirt
