A truly one of a kind snapshot of late 20th century teenage Americana. This was once a classic late '70s prom dress by Bill Levkoff, but an artist of unknown origins has elevated this into a moody teenage masterpiece. Due to the cultural references amongst other clues, it appears this colorful transformation transpired in the 1990's. The 1970's Levkoff dress is composed of a beige satin and cut in an empire silhouette, a popular style for prom dresses of the era. The simple piece serves as a canvas for a one-of-a-kind confessional. At first glance, the slightly juvenile scribbling appears to be inspired by the classic 'Senior Cords', an American classic for High Schoolers from the 1920's-1980's. This piece differs in it's poetic and long-winded diary entry style composition. A wearable work of art. The semi-sheer outer layer allows for the base of swirling doodles to peak through. Playful, expressive, and undeniably unique. A real conversation starter! 
Great vintage condition. Light signs of wear at the armpits with light color bleeding of the writing. No yellowing perspiration stains, though.
Labelled a US 8.
