I bought this dress from an op-shop when I was at uni (about 1994/5) for $40. $40 was a lot of money for me at that stage and I tried to bargain them down but they stuck to their price and I simply couldn't leave it behind so I bought it. Unfortunately it's never fit me. You can't see in this photo that it's waaaay too tight around my bottom (the only reason I can get it on is that the zipper is broken) and the top is too big (I'm holding it back with my hands). So it sits in my wardrobe where I can admire it every now and then and imagine where I'd wear it if I could :)
BTW, if you know anything about the brand "The Compass Rose" could you let me know? Ta.

It's exquisite...a real work of art...
actually you can take it to some asian alterations to take the darts off. I also bought a Chinese dress from op shop and it didn't fit me coz the waistline was way too tight. After some alterations and some weight loss, the dress fit me perfectly. Maybe I should write a post sometime ;)
What a lovely dress, a great find!
It is absolutely stunning. Just gorgeous.
Please try to have it altered. That, or sell it to me!!
