SIZING

The dress is tagged a size 11-12, but vintage sizes run smaller than modern sizes.  I believe this is closer to a modern size 8 (Medium). The actual measurements are as follows: 

Bust: 18.5 inches across, underarm to underarm (37 inches around)
Natural Waist 15 inches across (30 inches around, measured at the narrowest part of the dress)
Drop Waist: 17.5 inches across (35 inches around, measured at the seam between the bodice and the skirt)
Hips: Full and roomy
Length: 55 inches   

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.  

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

  • Gorgeous vintage prom gown from the 1980s
  • Black satin bodice and ivory white satin skirt
  • Ivory tulle netting overlay over the skirt
  • Fitted bodice and full skirt
  • Short puff sleeves and an open back
  • Huge bow accent in the back
  • Dress closes with a zipper down the back and snap buttons at the back of the neck


CONDITION

This dress is in good vintage condition! However, I did notice that the lining of the bust has faded from black to a reddish color. Since this is on the inside, it is mostly not visible from the outside. A little of the lining may be slightly visible along the edge of the open back.

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.
