CSS - Rectangle div with cut corners and border color

Question

I'm trying to achieve the shape as shown in this image:
To have 2 rectangle divs with cut corners , and 1 div positioned behind another div.

But the corners seems incorrect and I can't find the way to show the borders of the shapes.

.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

.connect {
  width: 254px;
  height: 50px;
  background: red;
  background: #FF2D5069;
  border-top: 2px solid #FF2175;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  z-index: 5;
}

.connect::before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  right: -2px;
  border-top: 52px solid white;
  border-left: 42px solid transparent;
}

.connect::after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: -2px;
  border-top: 52px solid white;
  border-right: 42px solid transparent;
}

.connect-behind {
  width: 300px;
  height: 44px;
  background: red;
  background: #FF2D5069;
  border-top: 2px solid #FF2175;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
}

.connect-behind::before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  right: -2px;
  border-top: 46px solid white;
  border-left: 26px solid transparent;
}

.connect-behind::after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: -2px;
  border-top: 46px solid white;
  border-right: 26px solid transparent;
}

I took reference from other threads to use behind and after for the solution but it doesn't seem working correct for my problem. Please help, thanks.

You could use perspective and transform:

possible example (for infos : with grid instead absolute) :

.wrapper {
  display: grid;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: end;
  height: 300px;
  perspective: 50px;
}

.connect,
.connect-behind {
  transform: rotatex(50deg);
  background: red;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background: #FF2D5069;
  border-top: 2px solid #FF2175;
  grid-row: 1;
  grid-column: 1;
  transform-origin: bottom center;
}

.connect-behind {
  width: 300px;
  height: 44px;
}

.connect {
  width: 254px;
  height: 50px;
  ;
}

to draw a border around the shape, drop-shadow could be usefull

.wrapper {
  display: grid;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: end;
  height: 300px;
  perspective: 50px;
   filter:
   drop-shadow( 1px  0px 0 )
   drop-shadow(-1px  0px 0 )
   drop-shadow( 0px  1px 0 )
   drop-shadow( 0px -1px 0 );
}

.connect,
.connect-behind {
  transform: rotatex(50deg);
  background: red;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background:white;
  grid-row: 1;
  grid-column: 1;
  transform-origin: bottom center; 
  background:#ffa500;
}

.connect-behind {
  width: 254px;
  height: 50px; 
  border-left:solid 2px;
  border-right:solid 2px;
}

.connect {
  background:#ed1c24;
  width: 300px;
  height: 44px;
  ;
}

You can use clip-path for things like this. Works well in a ( I think ) most browsers. Some, like ie11 and older browsers won't render it correctly, though, so you may need a fallback for those cases.

body {
overflow: hidden;
}

.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

.connect {
  width: 254px;
  height: 80px;
  background: red;
  background: #FF2D5069;
  border-top: 2px solid black;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  z-index: 5;
  clip-path: polygon(20% 0%, 80% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
}

.connect-border-left {
    height: 80px;
    width: 2px;
    background: black;
    left: calc(50% - 131px);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -12px;
    transform: rotate(34deg) translateX(-50%);
    display: inline-block;
}

.connect-border-right {
    height: 80px;
    width: 2px;
    background: black;
    right: calc(50% - 131px);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -12px;
    transform: rotate(-34deg) translateX(-50%);
    display: inline-block;
}


.connect-behind {
  width: 300px;
  height: 60px;
  background: red;
  background: #FF2D5069;
  border-top: 2px solid black;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  clip-path: polygon(14% 0%, 86% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
}

.connect-behind-border-right {
    height: 100px;
    width: 2px;
    background: black;
    right: calc(50% - 103px);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -11px;
    transform: rotate(-32deg) translateX(-50%);
    display: inline-block;
}

.connect-behind-border-left {
    height: 100px;
    width: 2px;
    background: black;
    left: calc(50% - 103px);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -11px;
    transform: rotate(32deg) translateX(-50%);
    display: inline-block;
}

an idea with skew transformation, clip-path and multiple background:

.box {
  --b:3px;   /* border width */
  --t:20px; /* top part width */
  --s:30px; /* side part width */
  margin:10px;
  display:inline-block;
  width:250px;
  height:150px;
  position:relative;
}
.box::before,
.box::after {
  content:"";
  position:absolute;
  top:0;
  bottom:0;
  left:0;
  width:50%;
  border-style:solid;
  border-width:var(--b) 0 0 var(--b);
  background:
    linear-gradient(black 0 0) 0 var(--t)/100% var(--b),
    linear-gradient(black 0 0) var(--s) 0/var(--b) 100%,
    linear-gradient(red 0 0)  left/var(--s) 100%, 
    orange;
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  transform-origin:bottom right;
  transform:skew(-20deg);
  clip-path:polygon(0 calc(var(--t) + var(--b)), calc(var(--s) + var(--b)) calc(var(--t) + var(--b)),calc(var(--s) + var(--b)) 0,60% 0,100% 100%,0 100%);
}
.box::after {
  transform:scale(-1,1) skew(-20deg);
 }
