80s 90s Red Dress Shift Tunic Layered Vintage Ms. Holly Harp VFG
A cute and breezy little dress by designer Holly Harp. I believe this is most likely late 1980s vintage, and so easy to wear. The silhouette is a simple shift with moderately padded shoulders and three quarter length sleeves. The two piece wrap detail with scalloped edges adds a feminine touch - the two sections are attached to the dress at the neckline but are otherwise free floating, creating the illusion of a short vest or capelet.

FABRIC/COLORS: Light weight crepe in tomato red. No fabric content label, and so beautifully finished that there are no raw edges inside to snip a bit for a fiber burn test. My experience with Holly Harp garments leads me to believe that there is a good chance it is silk. Tag does recommend dry clean only.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
