1980s black COTTON VELOUR Mini Dress with FISHNET insert. Clingy fit. Old stock. Canada. Old size Med
* The mannequin is wearing a Small, only to give an idea of the fit. She is a VS- Bust 33, Hip 33.5 and tiny waist.
Black 80% cotton, 20% Lycra/polyester velour stretchy minidress with fishnet midriff insert. Unworn Old Stock made in the 1980's in Canada of Canadian fabric.
Great 60's look with squared off armholes. Would also look great with leggings.
It's a good deep black-[see flash pics] Some pics look lighter.
The high cotton content makes the velour quite thick with a flattish soft sheen. The stretch is best described as medium.
It is store marked size Medium, but as the 1980's were a clingy time, please go by the measurements:
Bust is 34-35 inches. Waist 27 in. Hip 35 inches. Armhole opening is about 9 1/2 inches each side. Hem turn is 5/8 in. I would estimate it to be about a size 7/8 today.
Length from middle front neckline to hem is 32 1/2 inches. The midriff fishnet insert is approx. 5 1/2 inches wide, and is the same heavy fishnet offered in our current fabric listings. The bottom velour section of the dress starts at a flattering place above the hip. Zipper to middle back bodice.
There are several more of these in this size, possibly other sizes. They are in unworn condition but may have the odd minor scuff spot/dust, etc. from store display and storage moves, which will certainly come out with the first cleaning.
As it is mostly cotton, cold water hand wash, lie flat to dry. For first washing wash separately.
These dresses were designed by and made for a retro shop and were not mass produced.
