80s fans please look! This is a handmade secretary dress in the most fabulous baroque chain scarf print. It's a shirtdress that opens all the way up. It closes with a set of jeweled metal buttons set in two rows for a double breasted look. The skirt is very full. Whoever made this dress knew what she was doing as the seams are finished with the Hong Kong seam binding technique and the hem of full skirt is gathered to provide a nice finish on the outside. Also the tailoring of the collar and lapels is precise and sharp. The dress is unlined and has shoulder pads and long sleeves. It has no tags. My educated guess is that the fabric is rayon. Is should fit a size 4 or 6, here are the flat measurements, use these to ensure it will fit YOUR body. shoulder to shoulder: 16 armpit to armpit: 17.75 waist: 15 hip: 19.5 length: 45.5 underarm sleeve length: 16 excellent condition, no flaws. thanks for looking! #79551

You are a shimmering goddess in this long extremely fancy HEAVY white gown by Primavera. It's lavishly beaded and sequined with irridescent clear and peach sequins and clear beads. It has a small train at the back The sleeves are long in the back and shorter in the front, giving almost a renaissance feel. Marked Size 12 but it may well not work for a modern size twelve, so please use the garment's actual measurements provided here. And let's chat if you need help determining if it will work for you. You will want the gown to fit to the body but there is not any stretch. It had a side zipper Flat Measurments: shoulder to shoulder: 14 Armpit to Amrpit : 19 Waist: 14.5 Hips: 18 you want it close here, and because of the bias cut, there is some give here, so you could probably get it on if your hips are 40 around or less. Length: 61 in the front and about 72 in the back. a little bit of this length will be taken up by the body filling out the hips. Sleeves: 13.5 in the front 18 in the back. Thanks for looking! #69200

Simple black silk sheath dress from the 1950s with a VERY cute twist and a Jackie Kennedy vibe. Fitted at the waist with a darling bow and a relaxed ruffled high neck. The bow and the neckline are lined with baby pink. No fabric or band id tags. But almost certainly silk shantung. unlined Center back metal zipper marked size 11, but disregard that number! vintage sizes have nothing to do with modern sizes. This dress fits my size 4 mannequin well. Pls use flat measurements below: Armpit to Armpit: 19.5 Waist: 13.25 Hips: 19.5 Overall Length: 37 - it is unlined and the hem is deep. You can easily change the hem to make it shorter BUT!! the fabric turned under for the current hem has some significant discoloration due to being stored on a hanger and inside out for many years before I bought it. So you can make it shorter if you like but probably not longer. Thank you for looking #70443
