80s Women's Cocktail Dress Vintage Dynasty Diva Extreme Beaded Flames Peekaboo Medium VFG
An amazing and dramatic vintage 1980s cocktail dress, so over the top slinky and seductive! Padded raglan shoulders with deepset armholes. Black illusion net, vee shaped, inset into the bodice front from the neckline to below the waist. Artfully positioned beaded flames provide strategic coverage, but there's still a lot of skin to be seen. The dress has a curvy fit with a flirty mermaid/fishtail skirt that is higher in front and dips to the sides and back. Large keyhole opening in the bodice back so you're just as sexy from the back as you are from the front. The skirt has an inner "slip" attached to give it a little more swing.

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.
