The color is a subdued red, not a vibrant one. It has tucks in the front, which are cute. This is a piece that will be useful for the coming season. It would look good paired with a sweater and long boots. It has been worn a few times, and there is some pilling, one side of the lining is detached from the skirt, and there are some areas with loose threads. Please check the photos carefully and consider purchasing with your understanding and agreement. It will be shipped folded compactly. Please be aware of any creases.
