VTG 1980s Fringe Flapper Cocktail Dress Black Drop Waist Layered Metallic 18 NWT

Vintage 1980s Riccardo Barone Cocktail Dress Black Drop Waist Layered Metallic Size 18. 18 1/2 All original tags are attached with the size listed as 18 1/2 / 18 WP on the designer name tag. The paper tag in the dress says size 18 1/2, so I did a lot of measurements. The tank underdress is very stretchy and the large, lose cut of the top should make it an easy fit for someone looking for something that’s old, but not old! This one piece dress is in beautiful condition. It is new with tags from the 80s and there isn’t even a damaged piece of fringe! I love the flapper look with the fringe skirt below the blouson top. The top features a straight neck tank dress underneath a black and metallic mesh wrap top. The shoulders feature shoulder pads and ruching to add structure. The skirt is straight and fully covered with beautiful black fringe. This is such a fun dress! Measurements were taken using the flat lay method and are approximate, especially considering how stretchy and open both parts of the top are. I also tested this for dry rot and found that the elastic is still good. PTP 20” Waist 20” Hip 23” StS 18” S2 hem 46” Waist to hem 24” I can’t wait for you to take this one home and turn heads at your next dressy function. This would make a perfect New Year’s Eve dress. You can be beautiful, confident, and comfortable!
