Gorgeous 1950s cherry red velvet party frock

Best for S-S/M

Remarkable 1950s cotton velvet true red party dress. This dress is absolutely stunning! I have tried to photograph it many times and the texture and true texture and tone of the velvet always evades the camera. It is a true, deep red color in a heavy plush velvet fabric. The quintessential 50s frock with dropped waist, full skirt and bateau neckline. You can never go wrong with a beautifully made red dress!  Lovely ruched half sleeves make it feel year round. Full back zip.  Attached half crinoline lends shaping. Very, very well made. I would be surprised if this was home sewn, but I cannot find any tags or markings.
