1970s cocktail dress 1970s 80s Vintage Cocktail Dress with Boa Trim US Union Made Size 8 – Poppy's Vintage ClothingThis is a vintage cocktail dress, designed with a dramatic feather trimmed neckline attached to delicate spaghetti straps. The dress features a fitted bodice, a defined satin waist band, and a pleated skirt that falls below the knee, creating a classic evening silhouette. The feather trim forms a built in boa effect across the neckline and shoulders. While often generically referred to as marabou, the trim here is most consistent with processed turkey

This is a vintage cocktail dress, designed with a dramatic feather-trimmed neckline attached to delicate spaghetti straps. The dress features a fitted bodice, a defined satin waist band, and a pleated skirt that falls below the knee, creating a classic evening silhouette.

The feather trim forms a built-in “boa” effect across the neckline and shoulders. While often generically referred to as marabou, the trim here is most consistent with processed turkey feathers, which were widely used in American eveningwear as a legal and practical substitute for true marabou. The feathers are soft, evenly cut, and securely attached, with good fullness and movement.

This dress is American union made, bearing an ILGWU label used between 1974 and 1995. Based on the label, construction, and silhouette, the dress most likely dates to the late 1970s to early 1980s, a period when feather-trimmed cocktail dresses were popular for evening and party wear.

The dress fastens at the back with a zipper and is lined at the bodice only.

Material: Likely polyester or poly blend (typical of the period)

Size:  Labeled as a size 8, but please rely on the following measurements for fit, measured flat and doubled where appropriate:

Bust: 36 inches

Waist: 27 inches

Hips: 38 inches (falls loosely)

Length: 41 inches

Condition:  In very good condition. The feathers are full and secure with no bald spots noted. Fabric is clean and presents well, with no noted wear, tear, soiling, staining or odour.

This is a wonderful example of a vintage cocktail dress - attractive style, sure to be noticed!

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.

BEST PILLOWS EVER!!!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I am very picky with my pillows because I have a bad neck and I can never seem to find a good pillow. But I tried this pillow because it had everything I was looking for and the price was great! You get two of them and they are absolutely awesome.! normally I would need to lay on two pillows to try and get comfortable but with these pillows I just lay on one and I wake up with no neck pain. They really have a nice cooling effect. They actually puff up immediately after opening them. All you have to do is just shake them up and the pillow just puffs straight up.. It comes with extra cushioning if you want it to make it firmer and if you don’t want it as firm as it is, you can actually take some out. It really is such a beautiful pillow. It’s perfect in every way to me being such a picky pillow person. You just lay your head down on it and it forms around your neck and your head and when you get up, it goes right back to its normal form. It doesn’t get flat and I love it. I completely recommend this to anyone who is a person who has a hard time finding a really good pillow.
