This is a dress I purchased about 30 years ago. It's very comfortable to wear, and I used to wear it to formal events like weddings. It has shoulder pads, and the size at the time was a size 9 (equivalent to a modern size M). My daughter also wore it to a wedding about a year ago. I have kept it carefully, but there is some discoloration and staining on the chest, so please be aware of this. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details, as this is a used item stored at home. *For packaging, we may use recycled materials (cardboard boxes and paper bags from home) to be environmentally conscious. *We will compress the dress as much as possible to reduce shipping costs. Please purchase only if you understand the above. Thank you for looking.
