Robe vintage XS Givenchy F/W 1980 documentée noire argentée paillettes volants mode DÉFAUTS

This vintage Givenchy dress from the Fall/Winter 1980 collection features a black and silver sequin design with an asymmetrical ruffled hem, slight batwing sleeves, and a V-neck. The sleeves zip closed at the wrists.

********This dress is NOT in perfect condition and does have several issues:

1. The sequins are attached with a clear fishing line type thread, and it catches and pulls on the other sequins frequently. This has caused there to be stray threads throughout, but luckily since they're clear, you don't notice them.

2. The black chiffon lining in the chest area was cut when the dress was previously altered, and only covers about half of the chest now from the shoulders to mid-chest. This lining is fraying at the bottom from being cut and worn. You can slightly see the fraying edges through the outside fabric layer. It's not super noticeable externally, but it does make the fabric feel a bit more itchy in that area when worn. Please see all photos.

3. The ring attaching the hanging zipper pull to the zipper hardware on the side of the dress broke off. For now they are held together with thread. This should be an easy fix. Just needs a new jump ring to hold the two ends together.

4. This dress was altered by a previous owner. The original fabric is still in tact, so if desired you could potentially undo this alteration work. See photos.

Sizing: The dress seems to fit like a modern size 0-2, or XS.

The limiting factor for sizing is the waist measurement. The sleeves are a slight batwing style, which leaves extra flowing material in the chest area. So although the chest measurement may seem large for a size XS, it's just how the style of the dress is cut.

However, please check the measurements below to determine whether the fit is right for you. The mannequin is a size 0 for reference.

Armpit to armpit: 17 inches

Waist across: 12 inches

Hips across: 19 inches

Length: 42 inches

Sleeve length: 24 inches
