click image for more photos
Description: This is a great Betsey Johnson vintage 1980's punk label stretch velvet halter dress. This cute mini dress has a deep cut V neck with stretchy soft loop that goes behind your head. Flirty full skirt hits at upper thigh. Lush fabric with brilliant pink and orange roses on black is made of 86% cotton, 14% nylon/lycra. Machine wash cold, delicate, do not wring, tumble dry low.
Condition: In very good clean condition. There were straps that came up behind the neck when I acquired this but they had unfinished ends and were too short to tie comfortably on the average adult sized person. I have to presume the previous owner cut them shorter or it was a loop (1 pc) halter that was cut into short straps. I sewed the straps back together to make it one piece. It is a little bit long for a petite person and may be better suited to a medium to tall gal. You could always take some of the neck strap in again, also.
Size: The label says size Large. I think this runs small and could also fit a Small or Medium. Bust will fit 32-36 inches, waist 26-28, hips free to 44, length is 36 inches from middle back of neck to hem.
Price: $385.00

Description: This is a lovely vintage 1980's Escada designer silk blouse. Designed by the late Margaretha Ley. It is a yellow-gold luminous color in 100% pure silk with dreamy pastel roses in silver-gray-white, baby blue, and pink.
The blouse has a high collar with an asymetrical self fabric bow. There is wonderful gathering and detailing on the shoulders that make it special. It has long sleeves with two buttons at each cuff, and it buttons up the back with iridescent yellow mother of pearl buttons. Made in Germany, the care tag says Dry Clean Only.
Condition: Excellent.
Size: The size is a European 40, I would estimate it to be a US Medium. The bust is 46 inches (it's meant to fit loosely), the waist is 40, shoulders are 16 inches, the sleeves are 24 inches long (measured from the top of the shoulder), length is 27 inches.
