What colored dress would look good with red lipstick?

I have to work on costume design for a short film I will start shooting soon. The film is set in the 30s-50s and the shot will be in black and white. I'm going to be dressing a thin girl with long brown wavy hair and hazel eyes, during this scene, she will be featured in color and i'd like to have red lipstick on her but i'm not sure what color the dress should be. I want her to come off strong and seductive but not too overwhelming.

you have a plenty of choices , black, red, navy blue, yellow , maroon. it all depends mostly on which color best matches your skin tone and which u do prefere =)

  8. Try a white one with little cherries on it. I think that would be so cute!
    Or one with a big, bold red flowers on it. Or just classic black.

  9. Red, white, or black. I'd go with red or black though, white looks innocent, not seductive.

    well i'd either go for basic black to emphasize the red lips or go for the same colour red for the dress so she completely stands out. not sure about any other colour as you don't want it to clash and i think white is a bit too angelic and nice for someone you want to come off as strong and seductive. :-)

  14. The style and fit of the dress are more important than color. Make sure the dress is era-appropriate and fits well, as in snug. Any strong, dark color, i.e., black, navy, green, or even dark brown would be equally good.
