Vintage 1980s ladies' shipping cream dress with graphic grey silky pleated detail

Vintage day dress from the 1980s, in beige with grey pleated detail.

No labels, which suggests this might have been tailored for the original owner.

Long, button-cuff sleeves. Long zip to the rear. This feels like a synthetic or wool-mix fabric. Unlined. Thread belt loops to the sides.

The grey 'shark fin' is a really striking detail - made of pleated fabric with a silky sheen.

I would put this at a modern UK 14/16. Measurements are as shipping follows:

Shoulder to hem: 44" / 112 cm
Shoulder to shoulder: 15" / 38 cm
Bust: 38" / 96 cm
Waist: 36" / 91.5 cm
Hips: 37" / 94 cm

**Please note that there is a small brown mark to the rear (see picture). This may come out with washing but this cannot be guaranteed**

As this is a vintage item, it may have a slightly musty smell. This item has been in storage from the '80s until recently but will quickly freshen up. Very well preserved otherwise and representative of a wonderful era in fashion.
