A creamy taupe (NOT FULLY CREAM) cocktail dress for your winter holiday party or even your wedding! The lovely brocade floral pattern gives just the right amount of shine and texture to the piece. The dress even comes with the original belt! Dress zips up the side and at the neck with metal Talon zippers. The back of the neck also has a series of hook closures. Label is for Dynasty and says vintage size 12. There is another tag inside near the zipper, but not sure what it was for. Fabric has no give and feels like silk, but is possible its a silk blend - there is no content tag to be certain. It would likely best fit a modern size small, possibly an extra small given the waist, but it is meant to be fitted given all the darts and tailoring, so please see measurements. Model is modern size 4/6 for reference and it fit, but was VERY snug - a true wiggle dress and there is no give to the fabric!

Measurements:
Waist: just shy of 26 inches
Hips: 36 inches, 37 if pulled taught to account for darting in back
Length: 43 inches from back of collar, down
Good vintage condition - Some overall wear to piece. A few areas of marks and discoloration that did not come out with cleaning are still noted on the piece, the most obvious to my eyes was at the underarms. I did try to show this in photos but given the sheen of the fabric it was difficult. That said the areas of discoloration just appear to be a bit more golden in color to my eyes, if that helps. A few small pulls to the piece. Some slight wear and marks to the belt. Not a flaw but the front panel is hand stitched - see last three photos. Fabric likes to wrinkle so hang this up as soon as you receive it.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment. If you need more information about my measurements and vintage sizing please refer to my FAQs section under my Shop Policies page and ask me, I am here to help!!
