1960's Beaded Empire Evening Gown * Hand Beaded

Elegant 1960's Metallic Beaded Evening Gown.   The Empire Bodice tops off the lush Evergreen Velvet.  Soft "A" look style skirt.  Plunging back.  Spectacular and one of a kind...for so many special occasions. 

**The gown is part of a collection of evening gowns we acquired directly from the original owner.  Most are custom creations and designs and Couture Quality (hand or fine details).  She had the most elegant taste, loved the flowing Goddess style gowns, and was quite tiny.  So if you are a size 2 or even less...this should make your day.  You have a chance to acquire a completely original Breathtaking evening gown.  One more beautiful than the next.  ENJOY.

ABOUT THIS GOWN

The beaded top is in almost a Flame Stitch pattern.  It is in silver, golds and green faceted beads....they have a decided metallic cast to them.  The dress itself is a slightly fuller "A" line.  The velvet is rich and plush.  Bodice is lined.

C O N D I T I O N: Gown is in overall very good condition.  THE BEADED TOP will need some restoration work.   The gown needs to visit a suitable cleaner as it needs to be properly steamed and cleaned.

S I Z E:  X-Small to small.   Length:  55", bust area approx 33-35" (due to open back, a bit tricky to measure).  Slightly below bust is a gentle suggestion of waist...it measures 24"

PLEASE NOTE: We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al
