Description
Striking bright red "New Look" cocktail evening dress by Suzy Perette! This dress is classic 1950s, with a midi - length hem that falls at the calves, thin straps, and a square neckline. The bodice features ruching down the front, that tapers around the waist, creating an optical illusion that cinches the wearer's waist. The dress has a slight trumpet silhouette, with the bodice extending downward, fitted at the hipbones, and accented by a red ribbon bow. The full skirt of the dress is magnificent, and includes thick, belt - like detail at the back, recalling the voluminous dresses of the Belle Epoque, a time period of small waists and big skirts that had significant influence on 1950s fashion.

Dramatic and macabre skull necklace by Knight & Hammer. We adore this bold opera length necklace, with black enamel chain accented by four brilliant, polished gold skulls. Wear to the opera (and scandalize!) or over that perfect white tee with jeans (and scandalize!). A truly flexible necklace!
We're really feeling an Alexander McQueen / Damian Hirst "For the Love of God" rhinestone skull vibe from this piece.
