Dramatic vintage 1980's black
cocktail dress with huge batwing sleeves.
Sheer insets in the front and
back, and along the tops of the sleeves, are embroidered with very pale
pink thread, and edge with silver/gray cording.
The shoulders are padded and
there's lots of extra fabric, draping down under the arms and over the
hips, for the classic 1980's inverted "v" silhouette. The
skirt is straight, of course.
The fabric is thin and soft and
slightly stretchy- maybe rayon?
The dress is not lined and there
are no closures.
