Teal Poly-Blend Dress With Crochet Overlay Top

Updated August 25, 2026

Consistent with early 1980s formalwear, this teal full-length disco era dress combines a smooth, softly draping skirt with an attached openwork lace cape-style overlay. The bodice features a V-neckline, shoulder ties, flowing cape sleeves, and a matching self-tie waist cord, while the back is fitted with a zipper closure. An interior label reads "DRY CLEAN ONLY"; no maker’s label is visible in the photographs. The dress presents well with light wear consistent with age and previous use. The lace overlay, ties, zipper, and major seams appear intact, with no significant tears or losses visible. Measures up to approximately 38 in. at the bust, 28 in. at the waist, with a full hip, and 54 in. in overall length. A striking example of late 20th-century occasion wear, distinguished by its saturated teal color, flowing silhouette, and dramatic lace cape treatment. BP
