70s Women's Outfit Dress Cropped Jacket Sparkly Vintage Green Lurex Long Maxi VFG Small to Medium
Cute as can be, great for a winter holiday party, but that shade of green is springy enough to wear the pieces separately again in other seasons! Dress has a scoop neck with fitted bodice and a graceful curving waistline that is higher in front. Long four gored A-line skirt, looks classic and is so comfortable. The jacket has an edgier feel, with exaggerated collar points, western influenced angled front yoke, winged cuffs and cropped bomber silhouette.
SIZE: Labeled 8, I assume that’s the size, but since vintage sizes tend to run small, please consider the measurements

FABRIC/COLORS: No fabric content tag – it’s double knit and most likely poly, with a little metallic. The non-metallic dress bodice fabric has a bit more body than the lurex. Color is lettuce green.
TAG: Leslie Fay Knits.
CLOSURES: The dress has a nylon zipper down the back. The jacket closes with seven small self fabric buttons & loops.
CONDITION: Excellent. No stains, holes, tears or other issues seen.
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.
