This rare matched embellished walking short and blouse set is a statement piece! It is excellent preowned condition with striking heading and sequins detail. The bold multicolor print in bright pinks, reds, and blues were everywhere in the late 80s and 90s and a staple among the country club set. The size tags read medium, but this is vintage sizing and the measurements are more consistent with a 4/6. There is some stretch in the waist with elastic in the back of the waistband, but the material itself is not stretchy. This was carefully hand washed prior to taking photos of it. Please see photos to confirm measurements and condition. Feel free to ask any questions. We ship fast!
