Red and Purple Sheath Dress w 360-Degree Tulle Farthingale Peplum - M, 1960s
About the Item
Less a peplum and more a Renaissance-era farthingale, this dress's midsection uses an optical illusion to slim the waist and hips by comparison. Entrance- AND exit-making.

Rear metal zipper closure with hook and loop at low back and neck. Fully lined in red acetate; hanging loops.
