Black and red cocktail/ evening/ Christmas party dress

Description
One of a kind black and red peplum dress, ideal for Christmas parties, cocktail parties or evening events.
It’s made of a soft black British lace and very luxurious red taffeta. It’s doubled with the same red taffeta under the lace, at the top, in a sweetheart line. The lace has black satin trims at the neckline. The peplum has symmetric folds, in front and back. Long lace sleeves.
The dress is suitable for size 12 and I tried to make it look ok on this size 10 mannequin.
Zip fastening at the back, and 13 black small buttons at the middle of the back. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of the back, and now the dress is sold.
I used the Burda Theater dress pattern no. 122, and added the peplum. There is an error when I’m adding this pattern.
Thank you for your visit :)
