Like and save for later
Iconic 1990's red and black Betsey Johnson animal print dress with adjustable spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical hemline. This rare Betsey Johnson dress is timeless and very flattering to many body types. The outer dress is 100% silk with a drape neckline which reveals a black underdress with lace embellishments that peak through at the neck and hem. The layered skirt of the dress has an underskirt of embroidered lace that hangs beneath the silk outer skirt. The vintage dress is a size 8 which compares to a modern size 4 to 6. The dress is in excellent condition with minimal wear. Note: In person the red in this dress is more of a blood red versus a red with orange overtones. I have not found another dress like it on the internet so it is truly one of a kind.
Measurements in inches:
Bust 33
Waist 30
Hip 35
Length 29
Straps are adjustable to fit your frame.
Fabric Content: Outer Dress 100% Silk
Lace 62% Nylon, 38% Rayon
Under Dress 100 % Polyester
Because dress is made of silk it has no stretch. The fabric is cut on the bias to softly drape across your frame and create figure flattering curves.

I just added pictures - both of the Betsey Johnson tag and the fabric tag. I usually do but must have forgot. It's a great dress - actually vintage and bought when Betsey Johnson was running her company long before she sold it. It is sad for me to sell it but I am too old (in my 60's) to look great in it anymore. It will be nice for someone young to enjoy it.

I wasn't sure what her milkmaid ribbon dress looked like so I did some research. Most of the dresses I found had the ribbon gathered at the bustline and cap sleeves w/ribbons. If that is what you are referring to, I don't have that dress. Cap sleeves look really bad on me so I never purchased a dress like that. I have about 9 or 10 more BJ dresses as well as a lot of pants, a few sweaters (one the pink elephant sweater), a jacket, and a lace duster that I would have to be persuaded to let go of.

I need to post them. I love a couple of them so much that it will be hard to sell them. I don't have a dedicated space for photo's. My house doesn't have a white wall in it except on the stairs or basement so I have to do a lot of set up to take pictures. Hopefully, I will get a chance soon.
