NOTE: As always, lots of wonderful details to share,
but if you would prefer to skip the embellishments
and see only the dress’ specifics and measurements,
scroll down and read only the words in red.
That iconic song “ Lady in
Red” by Chris de Burgh sums it up when he sings “I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance”, that is the reaction you’re going to get when
you walk into the room in this gorgeous
and oh so sexy red number by Dancing Queen. Another example of the power
of a red gown that is well made and has an amazing silhouette is the dress
Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. This gown is red carpet worthy and the
perfect gown for prom, pageant or elegant evening at the governor’s mansion.
Features like being One shouldered and having a mile high slit are definite eye catchers, and
the sparkling rhinestones and beads
cascading from the shoulder strap and down and around the front of the
sweetheart neckline to the opposite sides waist and hips do an amazing job at
accentuate the curves of your
silhouette.
In the deepest, red and ultra soft chiffon, the
bodice is gathered and ruched for texture and then flows into graceful folds
all the way around and forms a small sweep train in back.
Speaking of the back, the strap, covered in
bedazzling beadwork makes a small appearance and adds a bit of sparkle on your
shoulder while the ruching continues around to the back and meet in the middle
where red satin ties crisscross corset style for beauty and a nicer fit. A
small zipper sits right below the corseting for ease of access
New, with tags still attached, this lovely gown

some even being over 60 years old, Because
of their age ,button holes, hems and seams may be missing thread or beads, or
to reinforce, very small holes and snags in the fabric or lace may occur ( if
we see them, we WILL mention them in the listing, so you can decide whether
or not to purchase, but some of our items are very ornately embellished and
flaws are not easily detected and can be missed during examination) or discoloration may occur .
If any of these situations do exist and we
don’t mention it, it usually means it was too small of defect to be noticeable
while wearing, and does not affect the garment’s wearability or overall
appearance. Because ALL SALES ARE FINAL

we make the flaws known right from the start, and perfect or not, we ALWAYS
strive to include clear description and plenty of pictures. Please also keep
in mind that some computer monitors may distort the color of the garment. So,

the scent of mothballs or other smells we can’t always identify ). We will specify if we notice
anything , but want to inform our buyers that cleanliness ,scents, or age
