The dress, which was described as, “A black stretch dress with a long train and high heels, the garment features a banded fringe, a ruffled skirt with a high heel, and strappy, strappy sandals with heels,” had a price tag of $2,000 on the vintage fashion site, A Brief History of Fashion on a website that appears to have been taken down.
