80s Ball Gown in Red Taffeta

From the 1980s, a well-made red ball gown with gorgeous details.

• Crisp taffeta is a true red with blue (not orange) undertones.
• Spaghetti straps, pleated surplice bodice with hi-lo waist.
• Permanently tied oh-so-80s big bow with sparkling glass bead and rhinestone embellishment.
• More than a full-circle full-length skirt can be worn with or without a crinoline.
• Shown with my faux-1860s hoop (not included) and you could go considerably bigger if desired! 
• Self-lined at bodice. Unlined skirt is not see-through.
• Closes in back with zipper and hook&eye.
• Made in the U.S.A.
• Perfect for a quinceanera, prom, wedding, accepting your Oscar, or other formal event.
