This is a vintage 1960s dress made in a bright red cotton velvet fabric. It is made with a high scoop neckline, elbow length sleeves and a defined waistline.  The skirt of the dress is gathered in tucks at the sides under the waist seam so that the skirt falls in drapes in a to-the-knee length.   It does up with a nylo zipper at the back.  The dress is unlined.  The lines of the dress are simple and classic, very easy to wear.
