Red Satin Slit Dress

Off-shoulder corset midi dress in bold red with a fluid glossy finish

This red off-shoulder midi dress pulls together two silhouettes that work hard on their own: a structured corset bodice up top and a draped, fluid skirt below. The boning in the bodice holds its shape without help from a bra, so that question is answered before you ask it. The off-shoulder straps sit loosely at the upper arm, giving you a little room to adjust the fit across the chest.

The skirt is gathered and ruched at one side, which draws the eye down and keeps the hem from sitting flat. A front slit opens toward the knee, so you can actually walk at full stride. The back is fully exposed above the waist, closed with a hidden zipper at center back.

The glossy red finish photographs well under low light, which makes this a natural pick for a holiday party, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day dinner, or a cocktail reception. The high-shine surface will show water marks and snags, so treat it with some care.
