1980s Vintage Nautical Dress Sz Large 16 Chelsea Ltd. Red + Navy Blue Pinup

Ahoy! A phenomenal vintage nautical piece in a rare larger size, 16! Made by Chelsea Ltd, this adorable dress is a vibrant red + navy with great accents including a peplum w/ ribbon trim, soft/thin shoulder pads, an adjustable belt w/ a gold tone buckle, 3/4 sleeves + a pretty keyhole at the back of the neck.
