Description: It's a dress in a million . . . - Hand-made in sleek, scarlet satin, it's a dress for seduction. Its journey begins with Carolyn, who plans to wear it at her silver wedding party to remind Oliver that he's the luckiest man he knows. But by the time Carolyn collects it from the seamstress her world has been shaken. She opts instead for the safety of black, and gives the red dress to a friend . . . So the dress' journey continues; the repository of hopes, dreams, fantasies and aspirations.
