About the Item

Be a seductive flash of lightning with this late 70's John Anthony Velvet Emerald Green Dress. Luxurious velvet wraps curves creating a va-va-voom statement that electrifies its spectators. This certainly was made to accompany the likes of major rock bands of the late 70s. Whether you're on the stage or behind it, this will grab some attention. Excellent condition, some stretching on threading (pictured). Otherwise, all hardware and dress in excellent vintage condition. Features back zipper half to the waist and hook closures to the top. Sheer lace is incredibly delicate so be mindful when wiggling into this piece. Body lined with sheer lace material, perhaps a nylon chiffon- not listed. Adjustable zipper wrists. No size, approximate US 0/2. While measurements can go up to a 2, the hips are very narrow-take note to account for the narrow nature of this piece while looking at measurements. Additional information: Dimensions: Shoulder: 16" Sleeve: 14.5" Chest: 34" Waist: 26" Hip: 34" Length: 37"
