Classic NBL biker-style dress, nicely modeled



The same style of North Beach Leather biker-style dress as in the previous listing, only in classic black, sold for a very impressive $270.00. Very nicely modeled, too, as it fits the owner like a glove!

I especially enjoyed the story behind the dress as told by the seller / owner:
I Lived in Chicago for 20 years in the FASHION industry and loved the Fabulous Clothes Available. I bought this and many others at the NORTH BEACH LEATHER boutique in Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue. This beautiful Dress was bought in the 1990's for $1095.00 and the was only worn "3" times. in CATWALK condition. The Leather quality and design Style made North Beach a premier Leather Retailer. It is BUTTER SOFT to the touch and has no defects. The Dress has detailed Stitching with Gold Tone Zippers that ALL work, Two front- side curved pockets, One zippered pocket on left chest. Fully lined in matching Black through out. This DRESS is -x-small so please check your MEASUREMENTS with those below. This dress is non-returnable. It is a "unique" an gets Attention but my Husband loved it and we bought it for a NEW YEARS EVE rooftop party. It is very fitted so it does keep you warm. It makes a definite statement about the style of it's owner.

North Beach Leather catalog cover dress


eBay leather seller "leatherfashions" sold this bright kelly green leather motorcycle-style dress (size S) by North Beach Leather for an impressive $239.16. The dress appeared on the cover of a vintage NBL catalog.

This is another dress that looks very different depending on whether it's zipped up or worn open.

Vintage Berman's black leather dress sells well



eBay leather seller "leatherbill" sold this very nice vintage Berman's black leather dress (size 6) for a respectable $152.50. I especially like that it's one of the few leather dresses with a black zipper. I also like that the collar can be worn zipped up high, as in the last two photos.

If this sexy black leather dress had been in my size, I would have put in a good bid!
