This vintage Betsey Johnson black satin bodycon halter dress is so reminiscent of vintage Dolce and Gabbana from the late 90s— super elegant, va-va-voom Italian vibes; completely timeless and seasonless. The fit is superb, with boning through the bodice creating a corset-like fit, and cups built out in the chest, complete with bra seams for that lingerie-inspired look. The black satin fabric has a great stretch to it, and it really holds the body in almost like shapewear, adding to that flattering effect. The dress is gathering along the center seam of the bodice, creating an hourglass illusion, with the appearance of a tiny waist! The halter strap fastens behind the neck with an adjustable button closure, making it easy to get the perfect fit. It's lined in a stretch fabric, which further enhances the aforementioned "shapewear" effect.
Measurements:
Note that the fabric has a lot of stretch, so it will fit a range of sizes. Also note that the bodice is boned, from chest to waist, to really hold you in. It will likely fit size Small and Medium but please refer to below measurements to be sure. Marked a size 8, shown pinned on a size X-Small to simulate proper fit.
Chest: about 34" laid flat, up to about 36" stretched (*keep in mind it is boned through the chest to hold you in, almost like a push-up bra, and the fabric is meant to fit really tight)
Waist: 27" laid flat, up to 31.5" stretched
Hips: 36" laid flat, up to 41+" stretched
Length: just shy of 28.5" down center front (excess fabric in hem to let out/make longer if desired, can easily be hemmed shorter as well.)
