About the Item

An iconic dress from Patrick Kelly's Autumn Winter 1989 runway show. This collection of chic and provocative designs featured many of the hallmark elements that have since become emblematic of Kelly's subversive genius. True fashion historians will recognize this dress is a very collectible piece by Patrick Kelly. The faux bolero bodice injects a hint of 1940's sophistication into a late 1980's sexy, form-fitting silhouette. Composed of 100% wool with a gentle give to hug those curves in all the right places. Cheeky peek-a-boo keyhole cutout at chest with red and black wool contrasting color blocking . High mock neck. Hidden zipper down back of neck. Excellent vintage condition. Labeled size US 10, but is more like a US 8. Chest 36"-38" Waist: 28"-30" Hips: 36"-38" Shoulder: 15.5" Sleeve: 22" Length: 37"
