DESCRIPTION

This is a gorgeous vintage prom dress from the 1980s made by Jessica McClintock Gunne Sax.  The bodice of the dress is made out of a jet black rayon velvet that is fully lined in black acetate.  The bodice is fitted with flexible boning for support, and it has a sweetheart neckline.  The skirt of the dress is made out of burgundy red acetate taffeta that has metallic gold striped running down it.  The skirt is very full, and it has an attached black tulle crinoline underneath to help show off the fullness.  The dress has a large taffeta bow accent in the back, and it closes with a zipper down the back. 

SIZING

The tag labels this a vintage size 5/6.  I think it would best fit a modern Juniors size Small or Misses size XS.  The actual measurements are as follows: 

Bust: 16" across, underarm to underarm (32" around.  There are darts just below this that expand the bust area slightly.  My mannequin has a 32" bust, and this dress fit her well in the chest.)
Waist:  13" across (26" around, measured at the seam between the bodice and the skirt)
Hips: Full and roomy
Length: 29.5" from the underarm to the hem 

Note: These are the actual measurements of the garment, so please leave yourself room for comfort of movement. All measurements were taken with the item laying flat. The flat measurements were doubled to give an approximate measurement around.

Clothing Condition:

The large majority of the items in my store are vintage and/or pre-owned.  I will list any major flaws in the item description.  However, most vintage clothing has been around for several decades or more, and it may have some minor snags in the fabric, the occasional loose thread or other minimal signs of wear.  Vintage items may also have raw seams that have not been serged.  By purchasing, you are accepting that these items are used and may not be 100% perfect. However, if you feel I have overlooked a major flaw, please let me know! 

I personally have a SMOKE FREE AND PET FREE HOME.
