Stunning Kay Unger silk taffeta plaid dress

Stunning Kay Unger silk taffeta plaid strapless dress with beaded top edge. True to Kay Unger style - this is a true classic! There is not a size tag. Size estimate: 10-12. Please see the pics of the measurements for the bust and waist. Armpit to hem Length -41”. Why did the previous owner cut the bottom half of the lining? 😭. See pic in addt’l posting. That is the only flaw to this dress, otherwise in excellent condition. Thankfully, It does not effect the integrity of the dress.
