Description: This is a stunning, midi length, vintage dress - by Monsoon (& part of their TWILIGHT' Collection).Decade: 1980's.Colour: Tartan, using an array of colours; these include tones of reds, orange, blues, greens, pinks and lime green. Made from 100% Raw Silk. UK Size (as inside label states): 12 - but please check against the measurements below, to ensure fit, as all manufacturers differ with their sizes. Please note that more vintage items tend to come up slightly smaller vs. more modern day sizes. The mannequin used in the pictures is a true-to-size UK 12 and the zip would not fasten to the top section. I would say this would suit a UK 10 to a small UK 12.
