Beaded Evening Ensemble

Vote yourself "Best Dressed" in this smashing daffodil yellow beaded dress and jacket from the early 1960's.  Perfect for a red carpet event in Hollywood, you will be a knock out everywhere you go in this glamorous outfit.

The dress has the look of old Hollywood, there is a very fitted bodice with many darts for shaping, topped by skinny spaghetti straps, and the gently gathered skirt is narrow with a deep slit on one side for ease of movement. The jonquil yellow silk is covered with opalescent sequins and there is also a random pattern of large flowers and leaves worked in silver metallic thread. This is further enhanced by large and small prong set rhinestones and silver bugle beads. The dress has a center back metal zipper and it is fully lined in silk.

The stunning jacket takes its' shape from the Orient, short, collarless, with wide kimono style sleeves. It closes with large fabric covered snaps. The real surprise is the lavish ermine lining!  This lining is so well done that the jacket is reversible. There are two fabric loops at the hem to use when hanging the garment.

Cafe society or old Hollywood glamour, you can't help but feel like a star in this stunning gown and matching evening jacket. Both pieces are in pristine condition.
