Absolutely striking 1980's red foiled lamé ballgown. This is a fantasy gown. Shimmering crimson with highlights of black. It looks like molten lava and photos cannot do it justice. Classic sweetheart neckline with a princess waist bodice. Plastic boning in the bodice to help it stay up. Incredibly voluminous skirt with a bubble hem. Long nylon zipper at the back.

{ CONDITION }

-The dress has been taken a bit at the bodice on each side. I am leaving it as I do not know how the alteration impacted the fabric.

-The hem is a bit dirty, mostly in the inside.

-There are a few very minor scuffs on the lamé. But because the fabric is so multi-dimensional you really cannot see the flaws at all. You must be VERY close to see any discrepancy.

-There is seam stress on the inside of the bodice. The outside is fine.

-The lining has a nip in it where the zipper likely caught at some point.

Sturdy and absolutely wearable as is.
