Wow! I Adore this long dress with all of its details. Dolman sleeves that are almost full length, shoulder pads, two pockets, nice circle skirt and a fantastic brown/black houndstooth pattern. It's incredibly flattering, I wore it one time and got all the complements. Perfect for a formal event, or something casual, this is a versatile fall/winter piece.
It has a back zipper, plus textured bold buttons on the top piece. Also featuring an exaggerated waist piece and two small but functional front pockets, it falls beautifully on the body. Some stretch to the fabric, a poly mix likely.
Condition: Wonderful! Great for its age. No flaws.

Everything from My Home on Mars has been professionally cleaned and restored, and ships with a care sheet specific to the material and time period of each piece. Most things require no special maintenance, but a simple list of "do's and don'ts" ensures your item maintains its condition for years to come.
In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser. Part of that job, separate from this one, is determining the value and authenticity of every piece I examine. I'm proud to bring that high standard of ethics, expertise, and research skills to My Home on Mars, allowing peace of mind for all my customers.
