A truly beautiful dress.

Gorgeous red color— perfect for the season— and little gold and red button detailing down front.

The shape of this dress is so flattering. There’s a slight puff/pucker to the shoulders, and very slight padding, which looks stunning on, in our opinion. Long-sleeved and about knee-length, depending on your height. Elastic cinching at waist.

We recommend wearing a thin nude slip underneath, as this is knit, but could be worn on its own as well. There are some parts where there is slight wear/thinning; please see all photos. There is a tiny hole near one pleat; photo provided. It’s not noticeable, in our opinion, when on, but please view photos 4 and 5 and know that it’s there. A very easy fix for a tailor.

It has two deep pleats in the front that look like slits, but just allow for extra room in the hem while walking.

Truly such a gorgeous dress, a perfect holiday dress, and also perfect for any celebratory get-together. Very versatile. A true collector’s item for Saint John lovers.
