70s Panne Velvet Mini Dress Paisley & Sparkle Carole Little VFG
This 70s minidress is cozy comfortable, and a bit wild with colors and fabric choices. A-line design, with lots of swing to the skirt below the hips. The scoop neckline and long sleeve cuffs are edged with rib knit, done in gold lurex with black. It was the 70s.
SIZE: The label is so faded, I'm not sure, but I think it says size 8.

CLOSURES: N/A, this pulls on over the head
CONDITION: No 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.
