About the Item

This is the original gown designed by Vicky Tiel—an iconic piece later recreated for Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Made in her signature ruched stretch mesh and merlot red color, the dress features a strapless sweetheart neckline, figure-sculpting internal corsetry, and dramatic draping through the bodice and hips. The fabric gathers at the waist into a front sash that falls into a floor-length skirt, creating a fluid and sensual silhouette. Both sultry and elegant, this design epitomizes 1980s glamour and remains one of the most recognizable red dresses in film history. Variations of this iconic design have been worn by Jill Biden and her granddaughter Finnegan Biden, further cementing its place in American fashion history. In very good condition with no remarkable flaws except few tiny holes at hem. Size 44, please use measurements as a guide: bust 36" / stretches up to 38", waist 28" / stretches up to 30", length 54".
