Original 1980s drop waisted dress in dark blue and white spotted polkyester crepe.
The skirt is pleated and the top has double breasted button fastenings.
PLEASE NORE: Although the fabric has a good weight it should be worn with a slip as it is a bit see-through!
Made in ENGLAND.
A bit of history….
This dress was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (Fit 39 / UK 6) which will be listed for sale.
A series of related ‘fashion shoot’ style posts are appearing on the Marshmallowvintage Instagram. This coat has been featured.
The vintage size label is 22. In my opinion the fit is smaller and like a modern day XL or UK 16/18
