Amazing little festive bombshell red velvet dress with a truly showstopping silhouette. I think a handmade 80s piece, but so inspired by 50s glamour. Fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline and long slim fitted sleeve. Waist nips the silhouette in and the fitted pencil skirt has the most amazing huge draped peplum, short in the front with a long trailing back. Back nylon zip to fasten. Lined in lightweight synthetic. No labels, possibly a handmade piece.

CONDITION
Very good condition.
-Some signs of alterations internally, nothing that is visible when worn: It looks like the zipper has been replaced. There is a little bit of wear at the bottom of the zip, but this is under the peplum so can't be seen when worn. Side seams of the skirt has been taken in slightly, there is about 1" of seam allowance to the side seams, so some room to let back out if desired. Similarly the seam allowances by the zip and at the bodice side seams are quite generous.
-Small darkening by the neckline, very slight, not very noticeable.
