Vintage 1980’s floral shirtwaister dress by St Michael

Vintage 1980’s St Michael dress made from lovely soft viscose so it hangs from the body really nicely and super flattering as the elasticated and belted waist nips you in. 

As with most genuine 80’s fashion the proportions  are quite generous especially the sleeves & the shoulders have small removable shoulder pads. The print on the dress is an abstract floral design in warm autumnal tones of black, brown, mustard and browns. 

The dress is a great all rounder for the office, a walk in the park with knitwear or a dinner date. Team with smart heels and boots or stick on a denim jacket and flats for a casual outfit.

The dress has fancy black and gold statement buttons (spares attached to label) to the cuffs and top of neckline which continues to 4 hidden black buttons which is the main opening. The belt is structured with a buckle fastening in the same lovely fabric. length is midi below the knee (falls quire long in photos as model is only 5ft) 

label says size 14 but will happily fit 10-14 poss 8 as model in photos is an 8 although the belt is slightly loose you could style with a different belt.
