Red Vine is a red African corset dress for wedding occasions, cut from 100% cotton Ankara wax print in rich crimson, scarlet and deep black. The strapless sweetheart neckline and structured corset panelling create a defined bodice, while the fitted midi skirt keeps the silhouette sleek and polished.
Designed for occasions where you want a stronger, more sculpted shape, the corset construction gives the upper body structure without relying on stretch fabric. The concealed centre-back zip keeps the finish clean, while the fully lined interior adds comfort and support through the bodice and skirt.
With its bold botanical print and fitted silhouette, Red Vine works particularly well for weddings, receptions, engagement celebrations, milestone birthdays, formal dinners and cultural events. It can be worn on its own or styled with the matching cropped jacket for a coordinated African print two-piece look.
