1995 St Michael Wool Shift Dress | Scarlet Red Mini Dress (Unworn)

Vintage 1990s St Michael Red Wool Shift Dress | Unworn 1995 Marks & Spencer Sleeveless Mini Dress | Classic Scarlet Dress

Description
A beautifully simple 1995 St Michael by Marks & Spencer scarlet red wool shift dress, preserved in remarkable unworn condition.

Made from 100% wool, this is a wonderful example of the quality associated with St Michael clothing of the period. The clean sleeveless silhouette falls in a classic straight shift shape, allowing the vivid scarlet red colour and beautiful wool fabric to do all the work.

Dating specifically to 1995, the dress has a wonderfully pared-back look that feels just as wearable today. Fully lined for comfort and structure, it is an easy piece to dress up or down and a particularly lovely example of increasingly collectible vintage St Michael.

Best of all, this example appears unworn, making it an unusual survivor from the mid-1990s.

Styling

The simplicity of this dress is exactly what makes it so wearable.
Style with black court shoes and a structured handbag for a wonderfully classic 1990s look, add loafers and a long coat for something more contemporary, or pair with statement jewellery and heels for an effortless evening outfit.
The rich scarlet colour also makes it a fabulous Christmas or winter occasion dress, while the pure wool construction gives it considerably more substance than a modern synthetic shift.
