About the Item

This 80's Ungaro Parallèle cocktail dress is cut from – probably – black silk ? (the composition materiel tag is missing) that's ruched and ruffled to create a flattering faux ostrich texture (see picture 9) throughout the close fit. Framed by exaggerated padded shoulders for a sense of the iconic 80's "power dressing", it features short sleeves that part in two (see pictures 11 & 12). These two sleeve sections can be tied together (not pictured though). The mini dress fastens with a button, press stud and a concealed zip at the back and it's distinguished by a diamond-shape open-back (see pictures 15, 16 & 17). Fully lined, the dress is labeled an UK size 6 (US 2) but runs a bit big to size. Made in Italy. Fits approx. : US 2-4 / FR 34-36 Measurements (taken flat) : Width (shoulder to shoulder) approx. 39 cm (15.35 inches) Width (armpit to armpit) approx. 40 cm (15.75 inches) Waist approx. 33 cm (12.99 inches) Length (shoulder to hem) approx. 93.5 cm (36.81 inches) Shortest sleeve length approx. 35 cm (13.78 inches) Longest sleeve length approx. 46 cm (18.11 inches) Total length approx. 95 cm (37.4 inches) This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.
