Channel your inner Audrey with this ultra chic vintage satin gem. A fitted waist, front pleated skirt, slight gather at bust, and 3/4 length sleeves ending in mink accents create an air of elegance unsurpassed. I purchased this dress in 1980 at a fund raising event in Dallas and it has been one of my favorites in my vintage collection but it does have a couple of small areas of wear which I have photographed. One is under the right arm and the other is on the back near the hem. Refer to photos #4 and #5. An inspection of the construction leads me to believe it was altered at some point before I acquired it so I will list the measurements. It is pictured on a size 2 mannequin but is roomy on her. Waist 29 inches, bust 42 inches, waist to hem 27 inches, hip 38 inches
