Vintage 80s Purple Silky Cocktail Drop Waist Party Dress

This quintessential 80s silhouette is so comfy and fun! The fitted skirt combo with the blousy bodice can be worn either casual or dressy. Plus the fun purple color is so unique - and so 80s!!! The dress does have shoulder pads, giving it that completed 80s look! Please note, you want it to be tight at the hips. If it is too loose the garment will not have the bloused look as is demonstrated on the model and will instead just fall straight down as it does on the hanger. Fabric is a lightweight poly- almost feels like silk. The garment is a pull over - there are no closures, except for one button at the hem for the side slit. Label for M.J. Carroll and tag says vintage size 13/14. Should best fit a modern size Large. Model is modern Large for reference with a 36C Bust. Approx. Measurements : Bust: 60 inches : Given this, I estimate that about a 40 inch bust should work (give or take) as the look is meant to be blousy Waist: 50 inches : Given this, I estimate that about a 37 inch waist should work (give or take) as the look is meant to be blousy Hips: 40 inches Length: 45 inches Sleeve Length: about 17 inches from seam; about 23 inches from end of shoulder pad Good vintage condition - Some minor overall wear to garment. A few loose threads and wear on interior that should not impact wear. Tags: 1980s 80s retro purple cocktail party drop waist bloused side slit shoulder pads large Sharlene designing women
