order This is an iconic 80s vintage black bubble dress! It's a textured plisse, likely rayon, and it has a classic 80s profile with a dropped waist accented by a satin sash with a huge bow, short sleeves with big shoulder pads and a double tiered pouf mini skirt with layers of sewn-in crinoline padding. It has a V neck in front and back and it closes with six shimmering crystal faceted front buttons. It's lined with black satin and this is a surprisingly heavy, substantially made garment, designer quality.
It's in good clean condition, no flaws noted, looks unworn. There's an older style department store tag on which someone has written "Juanita" and another tag says "Dry Clean Only, 6." It fits like a Women's Small and measures:
Bust - 34 inches,
Waist - natural, 30 inches,
Hips - below bow, 42 inches,
Shoulders - 14 inches,
Sleeves - 11 inches,
Bodice Length - shoulder to sash, 21 inches,
Length - 36.5 inches.
Our model Brandy is 5'3" tall, her measurements are 34-28-36 and she wears size Small.
