DESCRIPTION: This dress doesn’t whisper—it makes an entrance. Drenched in a rich jewel-toned teal, its sumptuous velvet catches the light with every move. The fit-and-flare silhouette and pleated skirt bring graceful motion, while the button-back detail adds that unexpected twist of elegance.
Born in the 60s and 70s for soirées and chic gatherings, this piece still knows how to turn heads. Pair it with statement heels, bold earrings, and a confident smile—because this dress is all about playful sophistication with a dash of retro glamour.
HISTORY: Albert Nipon was a celebrated fashion designer whose work defined sophistication in women’s fashion during the latter half of the 20th century. Renowned for his use of luxurious fabrics and meticulous detailing, Nipon’s designs offered a harmonious blend of classic refinement and modern sensibility. His creations catered to a discerning clientele who valued enduring style over fleeting trends, making the brand a symbol of elegance and quality in an era of evolving fashion. Today, pieces bearing the Albert Nipon name remain sought after for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
Velvet has long symbolized luxury, prized for its soft texture and luminous sheen. By the mid-20th century, synthetic velvets made this opulent fabric more accessible, bringing it into everyday and semi-formal fashion.The fit-and-flare silhouette—fitted bodice with a full skirt—dominated from the 1950s to the 1970s, pairing perfectly with velvet’s richness to create a look that was both feminine and timeless.

FAQs
- ALL SALES ARE FINAL / I do not accept cancellations.
- ACCIDENTAL purchases are not an acceptable reason for refund or cancellation.
- MY PROMISE: I have tried to be as through and as candid as possible with my measurements, photos & description provided in each listing. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me - I'll always do my best to help.
- PRODUCT COLOUR: I have a background in digital colour imaging and do my best to get the item photos as close to the real life colour as possible. It’s a process I take seriously and do with much care. With that said, when buying from a digital source, slight variations in colour from monitor, to phone screen, to real life, to photo studio are a reality that is unavoidable and should be taken into account before purchasing. If you have any questions regarding colour please contact me prior to check out. I’m happy to assist. I also try to describe the colours as much as possible within each items detail and description area above.
- ITEM CONDITION: Vintage and antique items by their very nature have some wear, imperfections, and signs of age/time. This is what gives them their character, charm, and collectability. Although I list items in overall excellent vintage condition, items may have some minor surface marks that you would expect with vintage. These DO NOT - in any way in my experience or opinion - spoil or adversely affect the look or use of the item. I understand that the quality standard of each customer may differ from time to time so I do suggest if you require further info or additional photos please ask for them and I'd be happy to provide them. The photos provided in each listing act as part of the item description so please pay close attention to them. I prefer to focus on the beauty of a vintage piece and the life left in it, rather than the focusing on every small blemish it may hold. With that said, if something is damaged or has a major flaw I would note these things, same goes for if something is in pristine or impeccable condition, I would also state this. Otherwise I assume my buyers understand that vintage items will most of the time have some wear and tear attached.
- CLEANING: Additional cleaning of furs, outerwear and leather items are the responsibility of the buyer. All items are held in a high-standard of cleanliness and quality when entering the collection, but may require additional attention depending upon the varying standards of each buyer. This is taken into account when pricing an item. All decor and collectible items are lightly wiped down but are left in the original state they were found to preserve the patina and old world charm that we all love. Fabric decor items are not washed before selling to preserve their delicate nature. Please examine the photos carefully for any flaws that I may have missed in my description. Anything else that can be cleaned or washed without affecting the vintage or antique collectibility qualities will be. Again, if you have any questions or concerns about any particular item, please get in touch before making your purchase.
- SHIPPING: Listed rates may seem high due to tracking options that are included. Lower non-trackable rates are available upon request. We always recommend you ship with tracking to ensure yourself peace of mind. If you choose a non-trackable option, the shop can not be held responsible for any lost or delayed packages. All shipping estimates are subject to change even after your purchase in made. You will always be notified and given the option to cancel your order due to unexpected rate changes. All shipping overages area refunded.
- CUSTOMS / DUTY / TAXES: Additional fees may apply for buyers outside of Canada. Please note, the shop is not responsible for payment of any customs, duty or additional tax fees that may be charged upon delivery.
Thank you again for your follows and continued business. Nita - Box & Burrow
