Throwback Thursday: Favorite, Possibly Fiorucci, Dress in 1985

October 10, 2013 by WendyB

I’ve been looking for photos of this favorite 1980s dress for a while! Unfortunately, I’m sitting in this July 1985 shot, meaning you can’t see the whole dress, but BarbaraB’s boobaciousness makes up for that.

Me and Mom. July 1985.

If I remember correctly, I got this dress at Fiorucci, which was only THE best store in the world. The dress had a blouson top with a big V-shaped cutout in the back, and a narrower skirt. I wore it for my high-school graduation, so hopefully I’ll find some more photos.  In this picture, jewelry-wise, I’m wearing that tri-color gold snake chain again. And if you look closely, you’ll see the giant New York rhinestone brooch that I still have and posted last year.

I’m kind of traumatized to realize that BarbaraB is younger in this photo than I am now! I always have that reaction to family photos from this era.
