1980s M.J. Carroll Purple Cocktail Dress - Lg
Stunning! This quintessential 80s silhouette is so comfy and fun! The fitted skirt combo with the blousy bodice can be worn either casual or dressy. Plus the fun purple color is so unique! The dress does have shoulder pads, giving it that completed 80s look! Please note, you want it to be tight at the hips. If it is too loose the garment will not have the bloused look as is demonstrated on the model and will instead just fall straight down as it does on the dress form. Fabric is a lightweight poly- almost feels like silk. The garment is a pull over - there are no closures, except for one button at the hem for the side slit. Label for M.J. Carroll and tag says vintage size 13/14. Should best fit a modern size Large. Model is modern Large for reference with a 36C Bust.

Measurements :
Bust: 60 inches : Given this, I estimate that about a 40 inch bust should work (give or take) as the look is meant to be blousy

Hips: 40 inches
Length: 45 inches

Good vintage condition - Some overall wear to garment. A few loose threads and wear on interior that should not impact wear.
