This dress is in immaculate condition. Model is 5’7 1/2 tall and a size 8, wears Medium dresses. I am not sure how sizes have changed in 30 years but the size “12” is a bit misleading compared to today’s sizes. It’s hard to believe it is 100% silk and in excellent condition being that it’s a vintage. The lady who owned this originally kept all her clothing in great condition. There are no stains, no rips, no tears, and no smells. From my research, this dress is from the early 1980s. This dress even has pockets! There are no shoulder pads (common for the 1980s.) Wear a piece of fashion history in style with this piece. Belts are NOT included. XOXO, Mel
