This dress was purchased in hong kong in 1975 where a young military man bought it for his new bride- they were married halloween day in 1975 in vegas & are still married today. I owned a consignment store that ive just converted online- but the couple that brought it in were so great- Its like the good energy just pulsates off the dress!! Lol I could not hold the tape measure & take the photo for the upper ribbed portion of dress but its comfortably a 26”
