Dramatic 80s Cocktail Dress Women's Vintage Periwinkle Draped Sparkly Accent M/L Filigree VFG
Classic 80s in the Dynasty vein, but I have never seen one this color. The dress features a wrap front bodice with the deep vee to the waist softened a bit by the draped "panel" from the right shoulder to nearly the waist on the left side, where it is anchored with a blingy accent of sequins, beaded, and a bit of beaded fringe. Shoulders are padded of course, with sleeves that puff a bit at the top. There is a deep section of ruching from the waist to below the hips that gathers and drapes, and accentuates every curve. Below that, a swingy gored skirt with plenty of room to kick up your heels and dance!
SIZE: No size label. The fabric is stretchy, so the waist and hips could go a little larger. The bust could go larger as well, depending on how much cleavage you are comfortable with.

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.
