1980’s Ivory Silk & Gold Beaded Long Sleeve Gown • XS

$145.00

Absolutely spectacular 1980’s silk evening gown in a soft ivory, completely encrusted with shimmering beadwork and sequins. The gown has a sleek, elongated column silhouette with a classic bateau neckline, structured shoulders and fitted long sleeves, giving it that unmistakably glamorous 1980s eveningwear shape. The ivory silk is covered throughout in tonal white bugle beads arranged in an abstract, almost confetti-like pattern, creating incredible texture even in the areas without gold embellishment. Overtop, metallic gold bugle beads, round beads and densely layered sequins form a dramatic botanical motif that sweeps asymmetrically across the body. The standout detail is the incredible flower-like motif that appears to bloom from the left hip. Layers of gold sequins and beads radiate outward into long, sweeping petal- or leaf-like forms, continuing both upward across the bodice and downward along the skirt. The same dimensional gold embellishment cascades over the shoulders and upper sleeves, beautifully framing the gown from every angle. The skirt falls long and straight to the floor, while the lighter silk lining underneath gives the heavily embellished outer layer structure and coverage. Finished with a zipper closure down the back. There are some areas where the beaded have come undone but do not take away from the dress!

Measurements: Bust 33”, Waist 26”, Hips 33”, Shoulder 15”, Sleeve 24.5”, Shoulder to Hem 57.5”
