Sorry, this item has sold.

Vintage 1980s Berkertex Dress. Aqua green which is shot through with flashes of black and blue.
The skirt is permanently pleated, the waist is dropped and just above the hip line.
Altogether a very flattering design

Stunning detailing to the neckline with pleats either side of the bodice, and dainty padded shoulders.

The dress fastens with a single button at the back. The waist is elasticated to allow it to pass over ones head.
Date of original purchase; March 1986

The size is vintage so I have given the actual measurements, taken when the garment was laid flat and relaxed. Please compare these against a garment of your own for the correct fitting.
