1970s Red Knit Dress

 

 

 

Not too far a cry from St. John, though the looser weave of this knit dress may call for a little help from Wolford in the behind-boosting department if you don't have a J.Lo booty (do you think her booty has 'support'?...hum, we wonder...) In a red acrylic boucle knit, this long stretch of a dress is semi-opaque, with a ribbed boat neckline and cuff, and an open diamond pattern on the bodice and sleeves. We're showing it tied both at the waist and at the hip for a slightly Renaissance look. Flat, unstretched measurements are:  Bust/waist/hip 30", shoulder 14", sleeve 27", length 52".  Given the stretchy character of the knit, the size is very accommodating - you could easily get another 8" from the bust, waist and hip measurements. Tie is 1" wide and 64" long. Made in Taiwan for Just-Mort, it is in excellent condition. $125
