Vintage 90s Bernshaw Teal & Black Beaded Taffeta Mermaid Gown – Size UK 10 – NWOT

Make a breathtaking, red-carpet entrance with this show-stopping authentic vintage 1990s evening gown from the premium British occasionwear label Bernshaw. 

Expertly crafted from a heavy, liquid-shine iridescent teal taffeta that shifts beautifully under evening lights, this gown perfectly captures the dark romantic glamour of late-90s high-end formalwear. 

The silhouette showcases a plunging V-neckline framed by wide shoulder straps adorned with intricate, hand-sewn black beadwork and shimmering sequins. The bodice is structured and cinched by two distinct black velvet-look bands, each accented with a delicate central bow layout to frame the bust and waistline.

Cascading down the front and back are scattered, high-relief black floral lace appliques encrusted with matching sequins. The gown drops into a dramatic drop-waist seam before erupting into a voluminous mermaid fishtail hemline that moves with exquisite grace.

It is the ultimate statement piece for luxury proms, black-tie galas, pageants, or formal winter balls.

Size: Size 10 - 15.5 inches pit to pit
