Description

80’s Striped Sweater Dress
Black & White Calf length -- M

Not quite Electro, but still striking in that loud 80's way. These wide black, white, and striped stripes make quite a horizontal statement! But the vertical rib knit, with the long skinny sleeves and skirt, well, there you have it!

Both the shoulders open with three big black buttons, and have medium-size shoulder pads. The sleeves are cut low -- not dolman, because they are separate pieces. But attached square, not set-in curved.

It had some elastic inside at the waist, which has relaxed with the years. But the thread belt loops and a big wide belt from you make them really unnecessary. The arm and bottom hems are blind hemmed, not top stitched.

The acrylic has the inevitable pilling -- so I'd call the condition of this dress very good, not excellent. Of course NO stains or tears! But it's just too much fun to pass up!

========================================
ABOUT CONDITION: Assume excellent vintage (no repros), unless I say otherwise. Everything has been checked carefully. Loose seams or hems have been resewn, missing buttons replaced, pulled threads looped inside, and the washables have all been laundered. If dry cleaning is needed, I say so in the listing. And of course smoke-free!!!
ABOUT SIZING: I think it’s easier to visualize how something might fit if you compare your own measurements to those of my model. I don't pin anything, so you can see how it really hangs.
ABOUT YOUR FIT: Determine the measurements of something similar to this, for which you like the fit. They should be similar. Or compare your own body measurements to the model’s. Look at how this garment fits (or doesn’t)
