1980s Catherine Ogust Neon Shirtdress

our new old thing When we launched enokiworld a decade ago, we championed the vintage Lanvin dress until it became a sought after piece, despite its poly knit ingredients. In fact, we explained tirelessly how polyester was the thoroughly new age fabric of its day and was worth a small premium for its colorfast and durable personality. And then, just like now, we believe you'll trust us when we say we love something that could be painfully Jacqueline Susann in all the wrong ways. It's not about the dress you wear but the body inside the dress which gives it life. A matronly Lilly Pulitzer dress on a girl with big boobs is going to be, well, matronly. A vintage Catherine Ogust dress on a woman with Barbara Bush hair isn't going to look cute or perky - it's going to look dumb. But slip that bad boy over Gisele's head and it's really something quite Riofabulous. Jump on the Penthouse Gallery dress girls because there are so many varieties of these, all as flattering and easy to wear as a DVF wrap dress. Vivid yellow, orange, fuchsia and lime cotton to the ankle with a very wide sash that wraps twice around the waist. Mandarin collar, knotted buttons and a placket that fastens to the solar plexus, its is slit to the knee on both sides. One Size reads the tag but these run on the voluminous side and would never be suitable for a modern 4 or smaller. Think tall 6 to 12, it is 54" long. Excellent, if not flawless, condition. sold
