This fantastic dress looks like it came out of a Dr. Suess movie, but what It was really was, is an 1980s designer sampler out of San Francisco.

It is so body delicious on and so much fun to wear, I cant imagine another little black party dress beating this one out.

Its got my favorite collar-style halter with a little bit of a stand-up ruffle. Its very low-cut, so beware.

I swear the ruffles are wired . They have a mind of their own but not really. There are panels of them running vertical around the dress.

It has a tag that says size 1, but could fit up to a size a 6 because of the stretch.

Its an empire bust-line that measures around 28" at the rib section. Waist up to 28" and hips up to 40".

The length is 28" from the armpit. The fabric is a soft and heavier weight cotton knit.

This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in Portland, Oregon.
