Boston Proper 100% wool sheath dress — size 12, burgundy red, square neckline, sleeveless, fitted with front seam detail and side slits, fully lined, late 1990s vintage.
Boston Proper was the catalog brand that dressed a generation of women who wanted quality construction without department store prices — and this dress is a perfect example of why their pieces hold up on the resale market. The fabric is 100% wool in a rich burgundy that deepens as the light changes, cut in a clean fitted sheath with a structured square neckline, front seam detailing that gives the silhouette shape, and side slits that allow movement without compromising the line. Fully acetate-lined interior. The kind of dress that works as hard as you do — office to dinner without changing.
