Peak 80s Plum Shimmery Ombré / two tone Off the Shoulder fit and Flare Cocktail Formal Hi / Low Dress

Purchased directly from the Art institute’s private fashion resource center collection in Chicago!

Decade: 80s
Size: No tag but fits like a modern day medium
Condition: Great condition overall. There’s some slight wear here or there, as pictured but nothing major. The maker appears to have like safety pinned in additional straps underneath the off the shoulder ones, but I’m not sure why. They aren’t even necessary. But I added a pic anyways. You can just remove them? I never used them. Also this is how I bought it. Not sure if it was originally ombré / multiple tones, or if that happened with age, but either way it looks dope! So dramatic and SO much life left!

Measurements laying flat, unstretched:
Pit to Pit: 17”
Waist: 14.5”
Hips: free
length: 46” at shortest hem / 55” at longest (hi / low)
