1980s VINTAGE ruby red RAW SILK dress MINT CONDITION 10

Truly stunning 1980s formal dress!

Ruby red raw silk!

Shawl collar, V–waist, fully boned bodice, glorious full skirt!

Excellent – like new / mint – condition!

Made from the most stunning ruby red raw silk, this 1980s formal dress is absolutely breathtaking!  A perfect romantic dress to dance the night away at a formal ball or wedding!

The gorgeous retro features include a lovely cross over / off the shoulder shawl collar, fitted bodice that is fully boned to keep it up and secure, V–waist, and very, very full skirt (circumference of hemline is over 4 metres!)

The dress appears to be made by a talented and highly skilled dress maker (most likely it’s a one–of–a–kind creation!).  The workmanship is of the highest quality – it really shows in the details and finish.

I’m guessing that this little stunner was a 1980s bridesmaid’s dress.  It looks brand new – probably only worn to the one wedding.

Add some accessories and this dress will channel different looks and styles – make it all your own!

• Add some striking jewellery and makeup for a dramatic Goth look,
• Put some red roses in your hair for a hot Spanish / flamenco look,
• Dress it up with some antique jewellery or a cute old–fashioned hat for a period costume ‘Gone with the Wind’ ‘Scarlett O’Hara’ look,
• Wear it with black lace gloves for a 1980s romantic look,
• Or team it with long black satin gloves, a choker necklace and an up–do for a classic Cinderella ball gown look. 

This dress will definitely impress discerning buyers – I’m deadly serious when I say do not miss it!!!!!
