Step into retro glamour with this stunning 1980s cocktail dress by George Gross, one of Australia’s most celebrated fashion designers. Covered in shimmering black and gold sequins, this piece features a beautifully draped hip detail that creates a classic hourglass silhouette. Crafted from stretch fabric, it's both elegant and incredibly comfortable, with long sleeves for added warmth and sophistication—perfect for evening events or special occasions.
This dress is more than just stylish—it's a piece of fashion history. George Gross, together with his design partner Harry Watt, built an iconic Australian label known for timeless elegance and refined tailoring. Their designs attracted international attention, with Princess Diana herself purchasing several pieces from the brand.
While this gem has a few signs of age, a small mend has been made at the hip, and there are tiny holes at the cuffs that have been mended ,it still dazzles and remains a showstopper. A rare and collectible piece, ideal for vintage lovers or anyone looking to add a dash of royal-approved glamour to their wardrobe.

from 120 reviewsIncredible store with incredible staff! I've purchased both in person and online, and can't say enough about how smooth the purchase was, how inviting the space is, and how cared for the staff made me feel. Don't be intimidated by the prices, each piece incredibly well cared for and sold for no more than it's worth, you'll have a hard time finding the same quality and range for less. If you're looking for true vintage or reproduction at reasonable prices then this is the place for you. 10/10!

absolutely adorable store
The woman who owns this shop is as lovely as can be, and I only ever get the best prices and quality of clothes from here 🦢🤍
I always have a great experience at peppermint twist. I normally order on line and I find the info on the website very clear and accurate. Recently visited the store though and the selection and service were outstanding!
As always, my purchases were beautifully wrapped in tissue paper with a cute little message and the items themselves were in tip top shape! They arrived quickly too. Always happy to get a parcel from Peppermint Twist ❤️
Awesome seller, definitely buy again
I purchased these knowing they probably wouldn't fit and they don't but the quality is fantastic.
I am going to chop them and make them into hold-up stockings.
Super cute design on the back though.
My Molly Bracken top is like new. It appealed because of the unique design. It was sent the day I bought it and arrived the next day.
I would highly rate this seller for quality goods and efficient friendly service.
