Classic 80s dress with dolman sleeves and fitted drop-waist, in electric purple (some of the pics add a blue tint, but the dress is a true, deep, vivid purple) and black polka dots and stripes. Nylon zipper, buttons, and hook-and-eye closures to centre back, as well as slit to bottom centre of skirt. Skirt is also lined.

Aside from storage wrinkles, the dress is in very good condition, with just two flaws (see pics) where the fabric has lightened near the armpits (possibly due to deodorant).
