Sometimes a simple, classic cut dress is just what you need. From the late 1950s this wonderful rich red dress is made from a soft woven fabric that hands and drapes beautifully. The tabs with the jumbo buttons are the only decoration, leaving that amazing drop waisted skirt do all the talking. Wear with the traditional vintage heels, or go for a more punk vibe by popping on those chunky Doc Martens for a little twist.
We advise paying close attention to the actual measurements of the garment. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

• Rich red, almost a faded merlot in hue, more muted than in the photos

• Drop waist with tabs to the front and large black buttons with gold crown centres - I wonder if the buttons are a later addition
