vintage silk dress / 1980s pink Arlequin PARIS drop waist shirtdress OS
Pale peachy- pink silk twill drop waist shredders by Arlequin PARIS label, circa 1980s vintage.
Narrow Nehru collar, dropped shoulder seams, oversized shape will accommodate most sizes based on desired fit (tagged size 6).
Left chest patch pocket, full button front.
Softly gathered pleats around the drop waist, back center bodice has dramatic inverted pleat detail.
Sleeves are full length and slightly tapered, with optional button adjustments at cuffs.
Buttons are the same shade of pink- pearlized plastic- all in place.
In very good to excellent condition- exceedingly clean and fresh with minor marks and a couple of tiny snags from handling. Appears unworn. Dry cleaning tags attached.
Martine Sitbon was a designer for Arlequin during this era- quite possibly a Sitbon design. A beautiful, chic dress!
