Description: Actual MeasurementsI show this on my B32 size mannequin and I clipped about 1-2 inches in the back to make it fit. Bust 32-34 inches.When I laid this flat, I got a 32 inch measurement. When I ran the tape around the inside, it was closer to 34 inches. Waist 28 inches Hips are full Total length 32.5 inches. This is taken from the side, underarm seam to the hem. Strapless dress are very finicky for fit. They are my most returned item. You want the bust to fit snugly, but you also want to be able to breathe. To make sure something will fit, take measurements from a piece of clothing that fits you well and use those measurements to compare. If you use your personal actual measurements, you should always figure needing two inches extra for breathing room. Label- Saks Fifth Avenue. Size 8. It has its original store tag and this dress retailed for 230.00. Closes with side plastic zipper Fabric is a smooth nylon acetate. It has a inside layer of soft black nylon. This dress is fully lined. Boning on the sides and front of the top of the dress. ConditionNo stains, holes, or tears. Some thread loss to the hem from age is shown in a photo. Never worn and has its original store tag. I will mention that the zipper works perfectly, but it likes to stick when it gets to all that fabric around the hip area. You have to be patient with it. It may feel like it doesn't want to work, but if you back up and keep the sides together, it will go up. What Diane Likes About This DressI lived through the 80s, and at the time I did not really consider anything new or current in fashion. I was heavily into wearing vintage, the blues, and 1940s lounge singers. I used to brag that I hadn't stepped a foot into a mall since high school. But now, looking back, I have come to appreciate the uniqueness of the 80s. The exuberance. The over the top drama. The utter fearlessness of expression. It has become a marvel to me and I am delighted when I find it now. I like the bold use of color and the asymmetrical design. This was a very expensive and high end dress. It did not have much opportunity to be out in the world and would very much like to have a twirl around the dance floor. "Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self expression and, above all, attitude." Iris Apfel "People will stare. Make it worth their while." Harry Winston This dress will ship in a priority mail box to protect the boning. I am always happy to combine shipping. I have a large amount of vintage clothing and am always adding new pieces.
