This is a lovely vintage maxi dress from the 1970s made by Shelley Edgars. The material is a stretchy polyester knit that is a dark red color. The upper part of the dress is made out of sheer floral lace, and there is a band of scalloped embroidery separating the lace section from the knit section. The dress has short sleeves that are flared, and it has a fitted waist. The dress comes with a matching belt, and it closes with a zipper down the back.

SIZING

The tag labels this a size 13, but vintage sizes tend to run smaller than modern sizes. I believe this dress would best fit a modern size Medium. It says on the tag that it should a 95cm bust. The actual measurements are as follows:

Bust: 18.5-20 inches across, underarm to underarm (37-40 inches around)
Shoulders: 15.5 inches
Waist: 14.5-15.5 inches across (29-31 inches around)
Hips: 22-23.5 inches across (44-47 inches around)
Length: 58.5 inches


Note: These are the actual measurements of the garment, so please leave yourself room for comfort of movement. All measurements were taken with the item laying flat. The flat measurements were doubled to give an approximate measurement around.


CONDITION

This dress is in very good vintage condition. I did notice a small place on the fabric where the fabric looks a little shiny (see last picture). This mark is near the hem, and I don't think it should be too noticeable when the dress is worn.



Please feel free to ask any questions about this item before making your purchase. I have MANY items in my store, so shop around a bit.
