Vintage Ruched Bodice Silk Chiffon Cocktail Dress with Bias-Cut Flutter Skirt

This vintage silk chiffon dress is the dreamiest little moment, perfect for a cocktail party, but can also be worn a bit more casually. Circa late 90s/early 2000s, this dress is SO well made, crafted entirely of silk. The drop-waist bodice is fully boned on the interior like a corset, ruched with silk chiffon, with a raw-edge silk ruffle down the center, and raw flutter details at the neckline— so soft and romantic. The ruching and drop-waist create an hourglass shape that is super flattering— with help from the interior boning that really hold you in! The skirt is bias-cut, with an additional layer of silk chiffon that flutters gently as you move and as the breeze catches it— so good in photos! (It is fully lined so as to avoid sheerness, with a gorgeous silk georgette.) The materials and construction on this dress are so expensive and impressive. This was found with its original tags and has never been worn; it originally retailed for $695, which would be around $1,300 today. Made in the USA. I would also like to point out that these fabrics don't wrinkle too easily and steam out really quickly, so its great for packing!

Measurements: This will work best for a modern size Small and Medium, but please refer to below measurements to be sure. Note that the bodice is boned to hold in the body. (Shot pinned on a size X-Small to simulate proper fit.)

Chest: about 34" laid flat (extra room because there are cups built out like a corset in the boned bodice; it will accommodate a wide range of chest sizes

Waist: 27.25" laid flat, up to 29" pulled taut (remember is it boned to hold you in)
Hips: High hips fit up to about 36" (where drop waist bodice ends about 4" down from natural waist; the actual hip measurement is flexible due to the bias-cut skirt)

Length: 38" from peak of neckline to hem 

Excellent deadstock vintage condition/never worn. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email shop@verybreezy.com for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.
