Women love clothes; however, they only love fashion when they have the money to shop. Fortunately, there is a solution for this whole fashion recession thing. The Red Discount Store has just launched a dress that won’t chomp your credit cards: the Red Recession Dress. The price of the dress is only £9.99 ($14 US.)
According to the Red Discount Store, the dress will surely please fashionable women forced to tighten their money belts due to economic depression.
The Red Recession Dress is designed to compete with Asda’s collections. The vintage-inspired dress is red, a color chosen to symbolize power and courage in a bid to elevate moods as recession beckons.
In addition, the dress is complete with full lining, ruched cap sleeves and with an asymmetrical neckline.
"This dress is the only garment a woman needs to buy this year. It is an excellent value for money," a spokesperson for the store said.
