Strapless Red Size 8 Mermaid Dress by Morgan and Co Vintage

Sz 7/8 (fits modern 6ish)

Y2K Vintage Morgan & Co. Light Red (yes, really!) Iridescent Beaded Strapless Mermaid Gown

Measurements in pics, lined, no stretch. But I am breaking in a new measuring tape and I found that when I really held down the tape against the contours of the boned bust I was able to get it to 17.5, Which matches the fact that it was a bit loose on my dress form in the bust.

This dress is such a stunning and unique color. I never really thought of light red being a color, but it's what you get when you weave metallic red and white threads together. The effect from a distance is that of a coral color. The beading is also in remarkably good condition for the dress's age, which I estimate to be around 2004 or 2005. There is some tulle near the bottom of the lining to keep the mermaid shape.

It is VG-EUC: a couple spots of loose thread on the bust beading, a tiny bit of separation near the right bustline that I found not even worth repairing, And there is an odd fabric flaw scattered around in small spots where the red and white interwoven threads have separated into lines of their respective colors. The sheen hides this unless you are looking very closely, and I couldn't really capture it unless I turned my camera flash off. It is concentrated mostly around the back center seam where the goring in the skirt starts.
