Description: I'm a little puzzled by this wonderful hot pink Balmain dress and am still researching its history and vintage, but at this point, am leaning to its being from the early 1980s. It is truly extraordinary - from it's heavily ruched bodice and torso to the three wide tiers of the skirt that are considerably shorter in front - mimicking a flamenco style dancing dress. There is light boning and removable foam breast pads inside the bodice; the ribbon trim is black; and closure is with a back zipper. There are no fabric or size labels present, which would indicate a date earlier than the mid-1980s. The other possibility is that this is a sample dress. The fabric looks and feels like silk, but could be a blend of other fibers. Sizing is based on the measurements and our sizing charts, indicating that the dress is closest to a modern US size 2. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size and compare with a similar garment that fits you.* Because of the dense ruching, the dress was measured on the inside and outside, and the smaller of the two measurements was used. MEASUREMENTS - Chest is 32" - Waist is 26" - Hips are 35" where the skirt begins. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
