Colorful Vintage 90s BILA Summertime Sea Life Tropical Print Dress - Vivid Tropical Fish Print - Soft Crinkle Rayon - Size M - Roomy Pockets

This is SUCH a vivid and beautiful print of tropical fish and sea life! Lovely and very collectible vintage rayon 1990's Bila dress--I have a very large personal collection of vintage Bila dresses of this type because they're simply WONDERFUL to wear in warmer months, plus the fabrics, details and colors are just so appealing. A beautiful, cool summer dress for any summertime event--garden party, wedding, or vintage-themed occasion. Gorgeous tropical fish print of vivid blues, deep fuschia/purples, golden yellow and malachite green on soft woven "crinkle" rayon. Full, gathered slightly dropped waist skirt that falls from the waist of the sleeveless bodice, and has roomy patch pockets. So flattering and so easy to wear, a timeless style that has never gone out of fashion---dress it up or down with a little cardigan and some funky bead necklaces and bangles! Marked a size M but is more of a S/M, please check measurements below. Freshly cleaned and fabulous! Do check my other listings for many more Bila dresses and other beauties....

IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props are not included and not for sale.

I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties! I'm meticulous about clothing in general so I make quite sure that every piece of vintage clothing I sell is clean, fresh, pressed and in excellent wearable condition---I do not use any fragranced or heavily-chemical products in caring for/cleaning garments and they are carefully stored in climate-controlled closets at all times except for when I am photographing them for listings. This is a NON SMOKING environment and always has been--I do not sell anything that has any kind of odor, nor do I ship clothing stuffed into shipping bags; I use new USPS boxes ONLY and carefully fold/wrap everything in new tissue paper.

Marked vintage M, but this is definitely more of an S/M, please check measurements, wearer's actual body measurements should be at least 1-2" smaller than the max stated:
Bust: dress measures 40"
Slightly dropped waistline is approx. 38"
Length is 52" from shoulder to hem. Mannequin is approx. 5' 6" and a modern size 6/8; I feel this dress is most suited to up to about a modern size 8.
Condition: Vintage like new, no issues whatsoever that I can see; crisp "crinkling" to the fabric and is freshly cleaned and ready to wear. Pulls on over the head, no fasteners. Great pockets! Bila label.

Please make sure this will suit you as to measurements and style before you purchase; I don't do alterations or accept returns.....Also, please be sure to read my shop policies/shipping info in full before you purchase (click on "policies" on my main shop page).
