{"product_id":"vintage-pierre-balmain-taffeta-ruffle-long-sleeve-dress-circa-1989","title":"Vintage Pierre Balmain Taffeta Ruffle Long Sleeve Dress, circa 1989","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eiconic vintage Pierre Balmain cocktail dress has a fitted long sleeve bodice, with a gathered taffeta skirt, defined by a pleated ruffle at the hip— such an interesting shape, and one that really flatters the figure. From the storied house of Balmain, this chic little black dress is anything but basic, and is exemplary of Balmain's work from this iconic era. There is no waistband at the natural waist, which is really elongating, but I love that it is still very much fitted at the natural waist— combined with the volume at the hips, and the built out shoulders, this creates the appearance of an hourglass shape with a tiny waist. The armholes are somewhat dropped which contributes to this shape— as does the slightly asymmetrical hemline, which has a lengthening effect. I love the subtle V in the back, in contrast to the higher neckline in the front. The construction is impeccable, with a grosgrain waist stay that the interior which helps to create the perfect seamless fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eMeasurements: This will best fit a size \u003cstrong\u003eX-Small and Small\u003c\/strong\u003e, but please refer to below measurements to be sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eNote that there is no shoulder seam\u003cbr\u003eChest: 34\" (armholes are dropped, it works well for a smaller chest as well)\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 26.5\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: 38\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 37\" from shoulder to shortest point of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003easymmetrical hem; 42\" to longest point\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGreat vintage condition. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email shop@verybreezy.com for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/verybreezy.com\/pages\/policies-shipping-returns\"\u003eSHIPPING \u0026amp; DELIVERY: learn more\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Very Breezy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059080806583,"sku":"1145","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7226\/4099\/files\/VintagePierreBalmainTaffetaRuffleLongSleeveDress_circa1989_7354.webp?v=1773674365","url":"https:\/\/verybreezy.com\/products\/vintage-pierre-balmain-taffeta-ruffle-long-sleeve-dress-circa-1989","provider":"Very Breezy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
