This is a fabulous retro-future-vibe dress from Hengst, the San Francisco design house, in the color Putty (a neutral taupe color). It is fully lined, has a button-up front with a slightly nipped-in waist, small stand-up collar, and two front pockets. The material is 90% cotton and 10% lycra, so it's comfy, stretchy, and washable. Unfortunately, it was wishful thinking on my part that I could ever fit into an XS. I can wear sizes from a 4 to an 8, depending on the cut, but this gapped at the waist. I tried putting in two tiny snaps to help it stay closed to no avail. I've taken one of the snaps off, but the other doesn't show at all. I love this dress, it's incredibly flattering, and would be amazing on someone with more of an hourglass shape. I'm shaped like a ruler, so out it goes. Sorry, the pictures don't do this dress justice.

Measurements: 16 1/2"" across the armpits; 14 1/2" across the smallest part of the waist; 17" across the hips; 39" from top of the shoulder to bottom hem.
Condition: Never been worn, though it has been tried on many times (I don't give up easily on something I love). There are a few marks where the snaps were sewn on, but it is mostly hidden. There are also a few small light marks, perhaps from being folded and stored? They are barely noticeable, but I wanted to mention them. The dress has been washed, line-dried, and ironed.
Price: Purchased at Revolve during their big sale last winter for about $50. I don't remember the full retail price, but most Hengst dresses I've seen in similar materials are priced between $200- $300. Asking $25 (includes shipping in the U.S).
