1950s red bombshell dress! This curvy satin cocktail has a busty surplice neckline with a saucy deep V, gathered pleats under the bust, and an hourglass torso. The skirt is two layers of red satin - a pleated bell-like peplum with a center slit over a pencil straight sheath, with a walking slit to center back. Sexy red party dress from a 50s California label... meant for a vintage vixen.

Condition Detail
Just lightly worn, the V-neck and the lower right front peplum both have a subtle water ring about 1-inch that's hard to perceive; similar scant darker hint under the arms; the edges of the shoulders, the center V-neck, and the underskirt each have a few scant abrasions; part of label is loose; overall very nice as these issues are all quite mild
