This dress is a vintage Kanga Collection piece, a label designed by Lady Dale Tryon (known as "Kanga"), who was a close friend of King Charles III and a favored designer of Princess Diana.
The garment features several signature 1980s design elements:
Fabric: Sheer black chiffon with a textured, burnout geometric or "check" pattern.
Silhouette: A "blouson" style bodice with a V-neckline and an elasticated waist that flows into a full, often pleated, maxi skirt.
Sleeves: Voluminous long sleeves with gathered cuffs, typical of the era's romantic aesthetic.
