vintage vivienne westwood dress Couture red taffeta corset and ballgown skirt, fw 1996 For Sale at 1stDibs 1980's Vivienne Westwood Couture Gold

The seams add interest, while the adjustable zip neckline allows you to style it open or closed

Matching embroidery shines on the sheer long puff sleeves that are completely removable for a sleeker look

You can also add a belt or shawl to highlight your waist or create extra visual interest without overpowering the dress

Polyester doesnt perform the best in humidity (it tends to trap odors and bacteriayuck), but for just under $75 on sale (youre not fooling us with that $4 discount, Revolve*eye roll*), Id willingly take the risk

I love styling knee-high boots for a dressier look with a mini dress, as well as with dresses that have a slit so that the knee boots can peek out through the slit for a stylish moment
