80s Prom Dress Sequined Women's Vintage Turquoise White Paris Sport Club XS/S Dance Party VFG
This 1980s vintage party dress is so fun, combining design elements with wild abandon! The sequinned drop waist bodice is boned and princess seamed and asymmetrical, dropping from the left upper hip down to the mid right thigh. A short contrasting color cha-cha skirt plunges with it, before wrapping on itself on the left, anchored by a blingy white applique. A copy of that applique is turned upside down and used to set off the sweetheart neckline between elasticized white shoulder straps. The flirty crinoline peeks out from under the slanting skirt hem, adding some oomph - as if the dress needed more.

CLOSURES: The dress closes with a long nylon zipper in back.
CONDITION: I have stitched a tear in the net crinoline, not seen when worn. I found a pair of small tannish spots on the skirt, easy to overlook in the folds - see closeup. No other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
