Red Grid is a red African print corset dress in vibrant red, golden yellow and deep black, arranged in a bold geometric grid pattern. Made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print, it combines a strapless sweetheart neckline with a structured corset bodice and fitted pencil skirt for a clean, sculpted silhouette.
Integrated boning through the bodice provides structure and definition, while contrasting black panel lines emphasise the geometric print. The fitted skirt follows the natural line of the hips and thighs, and a concealed centre-back zip keeps the finish streamlined.
With its sharp geometric print and structured shape, Red Grid works particularly well for receptions, formal dinners, milestone celebrations, graduations and wedding guest occasions where you want a fitted African print dress with a more architectural feel.
