A sight to behold, this original 1950's Lorrie Deb dress, rendered in a vibrant shade of pillar box red Chiffon, is just the statement piece to add to your cocktail wardrobe.
The straight cut neckline is framed by thin shoulder straps and a sleeveless cut. The elegant fitted and boned bodice, is set off by two front seams which run from below either side of the front of the bust-line, from which gathered pleats radiate horizontally, creating an eye-catching pleated bodice. The cinched in waistline, sets off the elegant gathered pleats that run from the waistline and drape along the length of the skirt. Finished with elegant sashes along the backline, which drape along the length of the dress, but can also be worn wrapped around the arms or shoulder. This dress is fully lined in rayon and has a layer of tulle along the skirt.
