Hello there
In a bring-and-buy sale on Monday, I happened upon a pearl lamé dress. With a Biba label. I only paid a few quid for it, and am now wondering if it's modern Biba, or vintage. Googling has proved fruitless - it's not for sale at the moment (modern Biba seems to now only be sold through House of Fraser) but nor is it featured on any vintage clothing sites.
Its label is gold, with black printing, and it has the original tags, which are black with gold on.
I'm pretty sure it's not totally modern. The zip is old-fashioned, it's lined with silk, whereas today's Biba seems to be totally polyester, and its belt is fastened with hooks and eyes, which seems a bit old school.
I realise I could take it to a vintage clothes shop, but fear being ripped off!
