Beautiful authentic vintage 1980s Joan Sparks for Daniel Barrett dress, originally retailed by Saks Fifth Avenue and made in the USA.
A striking statement dress featuring an intricate paisley print in deep blue, purple, burgundy, green and gold tones. The dramatic silhouette is quintessential 1980s, with structured shoulders, long sleeves, a defined waist and a flowing midi-length skirt.
One of the standout details is the contrasting blue genuine suede trim/panels at the waist and upper skirt, arranged in a flattering V-shaped design. Gold-tone button accents complete the sophisticated vintage look.
The garment label indicates 2-ply crepe. The dress also retains its ILGWU union Made in USA label, an excellent period detail for vintage collectors.
A distinctive piece for a vintage wardrobe, special occasion, editorial styling, theater/costume collection, or anyone looking for an authentic statement dress from the 1980s.
