1980s St. John black knit dress features a tall, roll-over collar in a tiger design with matching cuffs. Gold metallic threads are woven thought these elements, and they are further enhanced with tiny black rhinestones and gunmetal paillettes. The dress overall is a sheath style in St. John's signature santana knit beloved for its resiliency and resistance to wrinkles. The cuffs are removable, and if you want the collar to be lower, it will spread out if you undo up to all six of the buttons that close it in back. The dress closes with a hidden back zipper. The knit is a wool and rayon blend. Labeled size 8, but sizing charts indicate it is closer to a size 10. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size. The dress is stretchy, but the measurements were taken with the knit relaxed.
