Okay, so you like a classic red lip and/or a smart Lucille Ball costume as much as the next MCM person. This never-before-worn halter pinup dress provides the opportunities for all of that fun while also being a mature take on retro. The background of the dress is black, and the white polka dots are small and subtle. The red piping and covered buttons are picked up in the sharp, vampy trim on the tiny front pockets and the hem of the skirt. There’s plenty of room for a crinoline here, although a cotton slip with a ruffle is built in for a hint of fluff and bustling as you walk (or dance!). Even if you don’t buy this dress and then style it with a black or red cardigan, close your eyes and just imagine the *red shoes*, possibly with bows and/or straps, you KNOW you’d wear with it (and save inside their box and sometimes take them out and caress for the sake of their beauty and your own). Please keep in mind this dress is a Hell Bunny size 3X, not a standard US size 3X. It fits more like a US 16, give or take. Approximate flat measurements Bust: 18 Waist: 16.5 Length: 39 Dog friendly home. Shipped promptly without fuss or furbelows.
