This gold lame top was once a dress, but had lost its lower half before coming into my possession. It has a V neck with a wide ruffle collar trimmed with gold lace edging. The elbow length sleeves are gathered into self ruffles with elastic and are also edged with lace. There is a tie at the front of the neckline and it's gathered into a shoulder yoke at front and back. There's no opening, it just pulls over. It would have been worn very loose-fitting back in the '80s. Fabric is Lahma nylon. Brand is Members Only.
Measurements
Small - Marked XS but fits larger.
- Bust measures 102 cm (40") for a loose fitting 84 cm (33"), allowing for pulling on over the head and avoiding stress on the fabric.
- Shoulders 37 cm (14.5")
- Back 37 cm (14.5")
- Length 56 cm (22")
Condition
Fairly good. I have hemmed the lower edge. The underarms were badly damaged and frayed and couldn't be sewn. I have had to add an adhesive patch to the inside to stabilise the fabric. This can't be seen while it's being worn but may feel a little stiff. Elsewhere, the fabric is sound.
