Stock Treasures: Woman's all-in-one eighties dress
After three editions of men's clothing we return to female stock treasures. And this one is a good one. I'm still uncertain on the answer to the question is this fugly or fabulous?
However, if you are afraid you might lose your pocket square or are worried it might not match your top, this all-in-one eighties dress is the perfect solution!
This eighties dress belonged to my grandmother, the one with the awesome seventies coat, and I must say that the love at first sight didn't happened with this number as it did with the coat.
However. I think every decade has it charms, but if they consider bringing this back in fashion as they did with seventies suede coats, I will seriously consider jumping ship!
Don't you love how it looks like a suit? No! It's a dress!
You think it's a lapped zipper? NO, it's a blind zipper masked as a lapped zipper!
You can also see how they attached the facings by machine. 
This eighties dress features shoulder darts, pleated sleeve heads and a lined kick pleat.
Even though it's obviously quite mass-manufactured. I still think there's a lot of attention to detail and very crisp darts and pleats. This is the kind of crisp I also look for in my own sewing. Pressing and attention to detail is key here!
What do you think. Is this all-in-one number fabulous or fugly? Let me know!
