Incite black party dress with scarf down the back - 1980s vintage - size large

Vintage 1980s black party dress that's business in the front and a party down the back by Incite. Long dress has princess seams for shaping and short sleeves. V neck has a burnout velvet and gold inset...that magically becomes an elegant, long and trailing scarf down the back. Small shoulder pads. Back zipper. Full through the hips, tapered at the hem. Not meant to be body con, but to fit your form nicely with some drape. We gotta admit, it doesn't look like much on the hanger and it's a couple sizes to large for the dress for so pinning isn't going to work. But trust me, back in the day I would have killed for this dress. If ever there was a dress made to swan about in, this is it. Material / no tag, likely rayon Care / no tag, dry clean suggested For accurate fit, please compare measurements to a similar garment that fits you well. Make allowance for clothes underneath and to allow garment to drape properly.

There is one flaw parallel to the side seam along the left side about thigh high where the fabric is distressed from it being pressed to aggressively at some point in it's life. This is a pre-owned item. It has been used and loved and it has a history. Please examine photos carefully and ask questions. We want you to love your find.
