Early 1980s Red and Black Retro Dress Early 1980s Red and Black Retro Dress
So typical of fashions from this time period; the dress is in a pinky red matt fabric with satinised dollops of an orange red and black abstract floral swirls. Features batwing sleeves, shoulder pads (the internal fill has all but gone), and an over blouse that drapes over the black under lining (see images). The waist is elasticated and the bodice fastens at the back neck with a petite black button. There are belt loops but no belt.
Best fit: small UK10/12
Bust: 36"
Shoulders: 14 1/2"
Sleeves: 20"
Waist: stretches 21 to 32"
Hips: 40"
Length: 46"
The fabric is a stretch polyester.
Measurements are in inches with the dress laid flat and doubled.
The best way to check fit is to use a tape measure to measure yourself or an item from your wardrobe and check against the above. Once you have your measurements it makes buying vintage easier as standard sizes generally do not apply.

Condition: Very good (see note re the shoulder pads above). Clean and ready to wear.
Important: Follow the care label instructions. Use a cool iron only and keep away from naked flames / heat sources.
