1980s/1990s Prom Dress by Mike Benet
OK, I’m going to say up front: this dress has some really strange dimensions. You can see on the side where it was altered to make it bigger (an excellent job was done). So, I really think this was altered to fit a drag queen. Maybe another drag queen will give this a new home!
This is a sheath style gown with princess seams and an off the shoulder style heavily ruffled neckline. Fabric content is unknown but looks like acetate under the lace. Fully lined and fully boned in the bodice. There is also a slit in the back to make walking, or sashaying, easier.
