About the Item

Made in the USA, this vivacious dress was designed by Susan Friar in the early 1980s. Beloved for her outlandish prints during this era, this dress showcases bold purple, green, sketchy florals and tiny flower buds. The neckline is cut to a V-style and the shoulders are adorned with flamboyant pleating and ruffles. The waistband is smocked, as was the vogue at the time. The sleeves are long and cut to a voluminous bell shape. The skirt is pleated and ends at the calf with a ruffle hem. A tie in coordinating fabric finishes the neck, detailed with beads in purple, green and cream. The slightly sheer fabric contains no stretch, however the waistband is elasticated. The dress is unlined and there are pads in the shoulders which could be removed if desired. Reminiscent of designs by Susan's contemporary, Diane Freis, this dress is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws to the cloth. It is labelled a size S with a voluminous cut so could fit a range of sizes depending on the desired fit up to a UK 12 or US 8. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 38 in. (97 cm) WAIST STRETCHED - 34 in.
