About the Item

With so much to love about this dress, it's hard to know where to begin! Besides its hard-to-find larger size, we love how the hemline gently slopes longer in the back. The scrolling sequin pattern not only catches light beautifully but recalls Van Gogh's sky in "Starry, Starry Night." Finally, no need for a crinoline to create volume: remarkably full-bodied but still lightweight, this dress can stand upright without a hanger! Sleeveless sequined taffeta party dress with 1” shoulder straps and front bodice princess seams; full skirt features double front and single rear hip darts. Rear metal zipper closure with top hook and eye; lingerie snaps at shoulders. Unlined. fabric: super-heavyweight poly taffeta, sequins noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: none condition: very good with light dulling to sequins on seat and one area immediately right of zipper at upper back (see photos) measurements: neckline opening: 11 ½” straps: 1” wide x 13 ½” long bust: 38” waist: 28” bodice length: 15 ½” from shoulder, 8 ½” from underarm hips: 54” skirt length: 25 ½” total length: 41” from shoulder, 34” from underarm sweep: 72” label: no label present size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size medium
