ICE Leopard Print Shift Dress with Cut-in Armholes & Bead Embellishments
Size 10 (will fit Larger size--see measurements to evaluate fit)
New without Tag
This versatile lightweight knit animal print shift from ICE Clothing is the cat's meow. It can be worn casually or dressed up for a special occasion. The silky polyester material is soft, with a nice flow to it, very comfy and skims lightly over the figure. The neckline is trimmed with 2" wide black contrast all around, dipping in front and back into a peekaboo opening. There is slight gathering that falls straight down from the neck band in front and back. The neckline is embellished with a pattern of faceted white teardrop beads, glistening black and bronze bugle beads and bronze metal studs, sewn all around the front of the neck band and keyhole opening. With no lining, and with deep cut armhole openings exposing your shoulders, you will be cool and comfy. The dress closes with two small black buttons and loops at the back of the nape. The hemline could fall at/above/on the knee, depending on height of the wearer. The style falls straight from the bust down to the hem in a slight A-line shape, great for hiding any tummy bulge or expanding waistline. I have pictured it as it comes, without a belt, but also with a stretch belt at the waist and then at the hipline. The dress is shown on me in some photos--I'm 5'4" tall and 40"-28"-40", and also on my mannequin, which measures 37"-26"-36", so you can see the range of sizes it will fit. The dress does not come with a belt (it has no belt loops) nor with the black sheer arm covers pictured in some photos. Any black or .metallic stretch belt would complement the dress nicely. Gloves or arm covers can be purchased in any accessory shop or vintage clothing store.
According to the label, the easy-care Polyester/Spandex fabric may be hand washed in cold water and line dried. This dress would pack well for a trip, as the wrinkles would fall out of the fabric after hanging for a short while.
Please check measurements below as sizing varies from designer to designer and in vintage era clothing.
Measurements are taken with dress laid flat, buttoned at the nape. Since the design drapes into a slight A-shape from the bust, I did not measure the waistline. The material has a couple inches stretch in all directions so it accommodates a range of sizes from 10 to perhaps 14. Check the measurements carefully to determine fit for your figure, before buying.

Length (from top of neck band at center to bottom of hem): 34”
Bust (armpit seam to armpit seam): 22 1/2”
Waist (not measured because dress falls straight from bust to hem):
Hem width (side seam to side seam): Unstretched - 28”
