Description: An authentic, early example of the hotpants craze of the 1970s. This set was purchased by the original owner at a fashion-forward boutique when she was living in Paris in 1969. Fabric is a smooth, cool, slinky knit in bright, true orange with scattered white hearts. Very "Summer of Love" and "Almost Famous" hippie chic!Top (micro-minidress) has three-quarter sleeves, defined waist, offset button-and-loop closure with hidden snaps to prevent any peek-a-boo at the bust"Skirt" overlaps at the frontShort shorts are simple pull-on style with elastic waist and tiny permanent cuffsLabels: none remain, but definitely store-bought (the original owner tells us she removed all the labels from her high-end, trendy Parisian purchases to avoid the import fees at customs when she returned to NY in 1971. Naughty girl!)Fiber/Care: no tags, but feels like nylon knit / washable (recommend drying flat)Condition: only flaws are color shift in the expected areas (upper back, waist, etc., as shown -- underarms are fine), and evidence that some seams have been restitched over the years with various threads. no holes, stains, or missing closures. photos show all.*This vintage hot pants set is clean and ready to wear.* Garment Measurements: - the set is not clipped on either live model or mannequin and fits both nicely. live model measures 35.5"b, 26.5"w, 36.5" h, Delphine measures 32"b, 24"w, 35.25"h - TOP/MINIDRESS: shoulders: 15.5"/39cm sleeve: 20.5"/52cm bust: 34"/86.25cm plus gathers to about 36"/91.5cm waist (at lower seam): 27"/68.5cm hips: free length: 30"/76cm (with 1.5"/3.75cm hem) HOTPANTS/SHORTS: waist: stretches from 23-30"/58-76cm, best for somewhere in between side seam: 13"/33cm hips across seat: 40"/101.5cm inseam: 2"/5cm (that's the maximum inseam for hotpants, by definition!) front rise: 13.25"/33.5cm leg hole circumference: 25"/63.5cm(BDV SKU: 00827-016)Our items are not newly manufactured "vintage style" pieces.
