Vintage Red Evening Gown Sweetheart Neckline Criss Cross Straps & Open Back

This is a dress that should have been made for Elizabeth Taylor because it is stunning and exactly what she would have worn in her days at the top of the Hollywood movie stars! This bright red formal evening gown has a pleated sweetheart bodice and straps that go around the neck like a halter dress would. More art on this dress is the amazing back with the straps that go back and forth across the back and it almost feels like the gowns from the Grecian days in the past. Bright colorful beads are used as accents in the center front bodice and where all the straps meet in the middle of the back that lend a fantastic effect to this ensemble. The beads are large, diamond shaped and there are lots of bright beautiful colors. They're the only beads on the dress but they may have more impact then a fully beaded gown. The fabric is soft and to die for! Much of the back is open and the straps on the dress have folds in them for a wonderful effect. The sides of the dress are boned and the back of the dress flows in slight folds from the waist down with a red lining. There is a left side zipper and I'd swear this was a Grecian creation. There is no size or manufacturer label on this dress but the photos were taken on a size 4/6 mannequin with a 36" bust and 27" waist. The 8th photo shows the zipper was 1/2" short but I didn't want to force it. The zipper is fine but the mannequin was a tiny bit too large. Excellent Condition!
