50’s Cherry Red Cotton Velvet Wiggle Dress
$68.80
$86.00
Beautiful 1950s, perhaps 60s wiggle dress in cherry red cotton velvet. She is too small to fit either of my dress forms, alas, so I've pinned it for photos. Metal zipper on the side. Slight bullet shape to the bust. Scooped neckline in front and a slightly lower V in back. Love those gathered sleeves! Kick pleat in back. No label, extra small to small.
Excellent vintage condition. All I have found worth noting are a few pin sized black dots that are barely noticeable. Oh and I think it could do with a stitch or two at the top of the zipper. Just to shore it up there a bit more.
