Is this correct and natural?

Jane set about seducing Patrick that night. She wore a skintight, plunge dress. "I will let him see what he can have if he behaves. I will dangle the hook until he bites," she said to her friend.

I'm not familiar with a "plunge dress". I'd use "... a skintight dress with a plunging neckline". The rest is correct and natural.

I think "plunge dress" is a brand new phrase.

How about a "low cut dress"?

It is in use- it was new to me too.
I suppose it's a dress that makes you want to take the plunge.

(Al, you can Google "take the plunge.")
