Made by Alex Evenings, this vintage regal purple long formal dress features a cold-shoulder style, sheer polyester fabric draped and layered over opaque polyester fabric of the same color and a 22 inch long side slit. Well made, nicely designed, easy to wear and truly flattering, it is perfect for so many dressy events and body types. Look at the close up photos to appreciate the design details.

Please use these measurement. Do not rely on the listing size as sizing has changed over the years:

Bust is 39 inches
Waist is 34 inches
Hip is 44 inches
Back zipper is 18 inches
Side slit is 22 inches
Hemline width for lining is 46 inches
Full length is 59 and 1/2 inches

The label inside reads "Alex Evenings, 100% polyester, Hand Wash Warm or Dry Clean, RN 79283, Size 12, Made in USA of Domestic and Imported Fabrics". The polyester fabric used for the body of this gown is like a soft comfortable jersey, with some stretch built in.

There are no stains (even in the lining), holes, worn areas, snags or seams unraveling anywhere.

View of the back are shown and here you can see that this dress is too large for my model, so it had to be clipped in back. Please use the measurements to assure your personal best fit.

In these photos I show it worn with a pearl and rhinestone necklace so you can see where a necklace might fall on your body when this is being worn. Note this listing is only for the formal.

Freshly cleaned, it comes to you from a home with no pets and no smokers.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
