This classic cocktail dress is made from a shot taffeta in a dark red with black undertones. It has a snugly fitted Tiffany bodice with an elegant neckline that dips to a V at the back and a generous full pleated skirt. The skirt can be worn with a petticoat to give the full 1950s silhouette (as photographed - petticoat not included but can be added here) or left to fall naturally for a slimmer silhouette.

This dress is  ready made and available off-the-peg in a size UK 6 (US 2/EU 34).

It has been made to fit a waist measurement of 24-25” (62-65cm) and a bust measurement of 31-32” (78-82cm).

The skirt on this dress is 25.5” (65cm) long which will be an inch or two below the knee on most people.

Designed, cut and sewn with care in Brighton, England.
