Description
Calling all 1980s office sirens, or anyone else looking for an elegant solution for wear-to-work, then out-on-the-town dressing! This satin-stripe, semi-sheer polyester crepe dress is a lovely shade of dusty rose pink, with alternating narrow and wide, and shiny and matte stripes. The shirtwaist style bodice buttons in front from the V-neckline framed by a notched collar, to the elastic waist. The semi-full skirt flares from waist to hem, with flat pleats all around, and a center front inverted pleat. The wide, self-fabric belt is ruched and elasticized in back only, and closes with 2 metal hooks. The long dolman sleeves drape beautifully below the large shoulder pads, before narrowing into fitted cuffs. The sleeve cuffs, bodice front, the tabs trim at the shoulders, and the flaps on the 2 patch pockets at the bust are all fastened with the same pearly pink plastic buttons. The dress is unlined and somewhat sheer, so you may want a slip underneath. In very good condition, the only issue to note with this pretty-in-pink vintage 80s dress is that the narrow band of elastic at the waist is a bit less stretchy than originally intended. It does still have some stretch to it, as shown in my measurements below.
