Finnish vintage party dress from the 80s | Color black | Size 36

Finnish Nina party dress, representing early 80s party fashion, but also perfectly suited for today's festive seasons.

The dress features a practical elasticated waist and a zipper closure at the back. The sleeves start wide and taper towards the cuffs. There are small gathers at the shoulders.

The fabric is a lightweight, slightly stretchy synthetic material. No lining.
