V RARE VINTAGE VAKKO NY CACHE SUEDE LEATHER DRESS BATWING DOLMAN SLEEVES COSTUME

Description: VERY RARE! STUNNING VINTAGE 'VAKKO NY / CACHE' LABEL SUEDE TURQUOISE DRESS BATWING DOLMAN SLEEVES DRAPE RETRO 1980's THIS VERY RARE DRESS IS THE ONLY ONE I KNOW OF WITH A COMBINATION 'VAKKO NY / CACHE' LABEL. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING WITH THIS DOUBLE LABEL OFFERED, OR THIS STYLE VAKKO DRESS OFFERED, AND DOUBT THERE ARE MANY (ANY?) LEFT LIKE IT...SO 'ONE OF A KIND' IS QUITE LIKELY A POSSIBILITY. IF OTHERS EXIST, IT'S FAIR TO SAY THEY ARE VERY FEW, AND FAR BETWEEN. WHILE VAKKO IS STILL IN BUSINESS, I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE SEEING THIS DRESS AND LABEL COMBINATION, EVER AGAIN, MAKING IT ALL THE MORE COLLECTIBLE AND EXCLUSIVE, FOR COLLECTORS OF EITHER LABEL, AND/OR OF VINTAGE CLOTHING / 1980's ERA CLOTHING. THIS IS A SEXY, ELEGANT, STATEMENT, 'MAKE-YOUR-ENTRANCE' VINTAGE DRESS! THE LARGE DOLMAN SLEEVES ARE FABULOUS, (AND SUPER COMFORTABLE!) THE TURQUOISE COLOR IS DREAMY! WHAT BETTER VINTAGE DRESS TO WEAR, TO A VINTAGE DRESS PARTY...OR, AS HAS NOW BECOME SO TRENDY, TO A SPEAKEASY OR JAZZ BAR! I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER (NON SMOKER). I PURCHASED THIS NEW, APPROX. 1983-1984, AT CACHE, IN DADELAND MALL, MIAMI, FL.(CACHE WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN 2015.) APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS: LENGTH: 45" FROM NECKLINE TO HEM, IN FRONT. SLEEVES: 28" FROM NECKLINE TO SLEEVE TIP...THEY ARE MEANT TO BE A BIT LONG, AND CAN ALSO BE PUSHED UP ON THE ARM, FOR A 3/4 LENGTH SLEEVE. WIDTH OF DROPPED SKIRT: 22" LAYING FLAT, ACROSS FRONT, MEASURED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DIAGONAL LINES...WHICH FALL BELOW THE HIPS. THE NARROWER SKIRT AREA IS APPROX. 44" CIRCUMFERENCE, AND THE HIGHER HIP AREA IS WIDER, DUE TO FULLNESS OF THE DOLMAN SLEEVES. SIZE MEDIUM.UNLINED.SHOULDER PADS ARE SEWN/TACKED IN. (THERE IS NO LINING, SO YOU CAN EASILY CUT THEM OUT IF YOU PREFER...THAT SAID, NOW EVERYONE IS STARTING TO WEAR THEM AGAIN...SO MAYBE LEAVE THEM IN).11" LONG, 4-SNAP CLOSURE IN BACK.7 1/2" LONG REAR KICK VENT.GORGEOUS TURQUOISE COLOR!COMBINATION DESIGNER LABEL 'VAKKO NY / CACHE'.ALL ORIGINAL. THE MODEL WEARING THE DRESS IS A SIZE 10, APPROX. 140 LBS, 5'2" TALL. THIS HAS BEEN STORED IN MY CLOSET FOR YEARS, (ALONG WITH OTHER BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE CLOTHING THAT I WILL BE LISTING.) SUEDE HAS A TENDENCY FOR SUBTLE SURFACE AND COLOR IRREGULARITIES. THAT IS THE NATURE OF SUEDE/LEATHER, AS IT COMES FROM ANIMAL HIDES. DUE TO SUEDES NATURAL IRREGULARITIES, GENTLE USE, AND AGE, THERE ARE A FEW SMALL AREAS OF SUBTLE COLOR CHANGE AND MINOR WEAR, SHOWN IN PHOTOS...ALTHOUGH BARELY VISIBLE, I WANTED TO MENTION IT AND TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS. A VERY SMALL TEAR/LOOSE THREAD AT SEAM, AT THE BASE OF THE SNAP OPENING IN BACK, THAT CAN BE EASILY FIXED WITH A FEW STITCHES, (PHOTO #23), AND AS SHOWN IN THE PREVIOUS PHOTO # 22, IT IS NOT VISIBLE WHEN THE DRESS BACK IS CLOSED, BUT WANTED TO MENTION IT. 2 PIN-HEAD SIZED HOLES (ONE IN RIGHT AND ONE IN LEFT SHOULDER, PHOTOS #19 & #20)...I SUSPECT FROM A MOTH...IN SPITE OF CAREFUL STORAGE AND A ZIPPED DRESS COVER.I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO DISCOVERY THEM , BUT CANNOT CHANGE IT...MAYBE A LEATHER SPECIALIST CAN(?).
