DESCRIPTION: Perfect year round sexy little cocktail dress. This is a vintage 1960's Empire Mini dress. It features French lace over blush crepe on the empire bodice. The bodice is a sexy V, as is the back of the dress. The body of the dress is black crepe. It is slightly fitted and has a wonderful large bow under the bodice. It is fully lined in black acetate. The bodice lined in blush acetate. We find no label. CONDITION: Excellent. We dropped the hem as it was very poorly done. We show it "hemmed" (pinned) for the photos. We have left it unhemmed so you can make it whatever length you wish. There is only the barest "hint of a mark in a couple of spots where the old hem was. If you go shorter as it is in the photos, there will be no mark. SIZE: Length: CAN BE ALTERED TO FIT. As shown in photos, 36" (see above...we have left the hem down...the dress measures 40" unhemmed). Bust approx 36-37", waist area 27", hips 37". PLEASE NOTE: We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al |
