A fabulous vintage 1970s dress for dancing! Spaghetti straps, fitted bias pleated drop waist bodice with pleats opening into a flirty handkerchief hem skirt.
SIZE: Labeled 12, but vintage sizes run small. Measuring this was difficult because bias cuts have give.

FABRIC/COLORS: Medium weight liquid satin crepe, in vibrant red. No fabric content tag, my best guess is rayon.
TAGS: No maker's tag
CLOSURES: The dress slips on over the head - it has a 4" placket under the left arm that closes with hooks and snaps.
CONDITION: There was a 1/4" tear at the bottom of the underarm placket, I have repaired with hand stitching. No other issues seen.
