Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars"
There were numerous versions of the song throughout the 1950s, though the best known now is the Bobby Vinton version 1963. Other notable versions in the 50s were The Clovers The Statues and Tony Bennett,
So it is so romantic if you love the fifties to have an actual blue velvet number! Especially one this unusual and by Elmoor who were very high end look thigh relatively affordable if you saved. They were based in Great Portland st and supplied all the top boutiques in Mayfair and dept stores Oxford st etc and their advertising was about getting the look of a millionairess.

It is in very good vintage condition no serious flaws at all, though you can tell it's of an age. But that shouldn't make anyone hesitate when this is so special elegant and very wearable
