Amazing 80's Scott McClintock cocktail dress complete with oversized rhinestones, gold filigree and built-in choker. Bodice is a deep inky black velvet, plunging sweetheart neckline, sexy criss crossed back straps, and above-the-knee length skirt. I freaking love this piece and wish it fit, but thankfully for you it doesn't. Two buttons clasp behind the neck, securing the choker, and there is a zipper that runs halfway down the back. I will say that getting the hang of putting this thing on took some practice, but once I did it was worth it. In tags-on condition, with very little sign of storage wear, gemstones and beads are nice quality and don't feel cheap, dress is fully lined in a sateen-like fabric. Marked a size 10 but fits closer to a modern 4/6, so please read provided measurements to ensure the right fit. Made in USA. Measurements taken from flat: Pit to pit: 15.5" Waist: 14" Length: 37.5" Across hem: 18.5"
