Red Hot Chilli Padi | Vintage 1990s grunge punk rock Red flocked floral tank dress
The story:
The 90s were cool for their heck-carish ways and mix of styles. Who says florals couldn't be kind of a rebel? It's all about how you would wear it!
We used to wear those black velvet thread chokers with a single charm which dangled from the front - very much Winona Ryder in Realty Bites.
And we imagine that would go great with this red dress, Doc Martens (oh yes, we remember those too - so pricey and out-of-reach for the regular high school student but so desired!), and those tiny knapsacks (usually Versace ones ;) which used to sit at the top of your tailbone.
Pinned?:Yes. Please refer to details below for exact measurements.
Measurements:
All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat.
Please DOUBLE the measurements provided to get the approximate circumference measurements.
Alternatively, you can take a piece of your own clothing, lay it flat, measure it and make a comparison.
Approx. Size: M - L
Shoulders: 14in
Waist: Up to 18in un-cinched (Could be cinched tighter as there are ties at the side and you could tie them tighter at the back, or front, or back AND front ;)
Total Length: 44in
Hips: Up to 18in (cut straight down from the bust)
Material: Tag is faded so we can't read it, but likely to be a synthetic fibre mix.
Origin: U.S.A.
Tag: California Concepts.
Lining: Unlined.
Transparency: Seems opaque, but as with most vintage garments, a slip will help to keep things decent ;)
Condition: Very good. Only flaw is a slight wear & tear on one of the fabric ties (see the last 2 photos) but in no way does that affect the way it wears.
