Thanks to my friend Connie of Cosmic Cat Vintage, here is the same dress featured in the March, 1986 issue of Seventeen.

A Magic Moment

Waiting for his first glimpse of you
in a gown of liquid gold.
Sequin trimmed Lame bustier.
Style 43072

What can we say? This beautiful 14K bling-bling dress just speaks for itself!



The strapless bustier bodice is trimmed in a band of wide gold sequins at the neckline and a stretchy gold sequin band at waist. There is light boning down the front for shape and form.





The dress flows like liquid gold from the waist and has one attached net crinoline underneath.





The back fastens with a long zipper. Sorry, the dress was too small to zip all the way on my mannequin.






MEASUREMENTS:

Size: 5.

Bust: 31 inches.
Waist: 27 inches.
Hips: Full.
Length from Mid Neckline Front to Waist: 9 1/2 inches.
Length from Waist to Hem: 41 inches.

HOW WE MEASURE:
Measurements are taken with the garment lying flat, measured across bust, waist, hips, etc., then that measurement doubled. To get an accurate measurement, take a piece of your own clothing that fits perfectly and measure just like I do. Sizing on clothes is measured to the MAXIMUM, with bust being measured armpit to armpit and sleeves measured from top near shoulder. Hips are measured 9 inches below natural waist. Waist straight across at the natural waist line. Length is measured from the back of the neck, if possible, to the hem. Exact method of measuring length will be in the description. All measurements are approximate! If you like your clothes loosely, allow a couple inches off the measurements where you like looseness.

Condition:
The condition is Very Good with no stains. There is one small run about 3 inches long on side of skirt (see pic below). At the end of the run is a small hole. This can easily be mended by hand with matching thread, however, since it falls inthe folds of the skirt, it cannot be easily seen. In fact, I had handled this dress for several hours before I even saw it. This dress has been in storage so you may want to have dry cleaned upon receipt.
