Knock-Out Vintage 50s Red Floral Print Dress -
SOLD
This night you will wear red. Yes. This is the the dress. It's a vintage Elinor Gay from the '50s. You will appear at the party and all eyes will be on you.
"Who is she? Look at that dress! My gosh, the neckline! How amazing. Wow. What a knock-out." When you arrive a hush will fall in the room. Some will feel a spark of envy when you sashay to the bar. Your beautiful, swishy skirt captures all the attention as your high heels click-clack across the floor. Then, they will see your back. My, my...what a dress. Your beauteous dress will inspire some to bestow you with compliments. Some will feel a little jealous and maybe a bit angry because they didn't have the time or the energy to put together such a polished ensemble.
Whatever they decide to project onto you, you know the real deal. This dress is easy. It's sexy because of what it doesn't show, not what it reveals. It's a simple thing, really. It just needs the right heels and a great handbag. Pull it on, zip the metal zipper and you're set. Add the perfect shade of red lipstick and heads will surely turn.
Imagine it. Be there.
