Vintage collectible 1980s Bob Mackie Wearable Art 100% pure silk in perfect condition with tags. Small shoulder pads snap on and off. This top is suitable for any size since it can be tied or worn oversized. This is a hard-to-find item.
Armpit to armpit: 25"
Please note that the shirt is NOT a true size 3X.
Key Differences in 1980s Sizing:
Smaller Measurements: Vintage sizes from the 1980s are often 2–4 numerical sizes smaller than modern equivalents.
1980s 3X: While modern 3X garments often fit sizes 22–24, a 1980s 3X was closer to a modern 18/20 or even a 16.

Hi there, that is my best offer, it’s way too big for me and I would have to take it to the tailor to make it way smaller and even then, I don’t know if it would look OK, after being modified, hence my offer. Hope that works for you. Thank you.

@irifaith I appreciate the offer, though it is quite low. This shirt is from the 1980s and a 3X back then is much smaller than 3X today. It's more like an XL. Still, it is large. I'm size 2 and was surprised at how well it looked on me when I tied it in front. That said, I totally get it. I've purchased so many items that end up being too large or too small.

@irifaith I changed the description to accurately note the size. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Also, the photos of the top were taken on a size 2 mannequin.
