This two piece dress is really on the cusp of the 1950's and 1960's, but the style of the beaded flowers is more OpArt than 1950's beaded cashmere cardigan so I opted to place it in the more modern category.

Molly Parnis designed this dress for DePinna in New York City.  The sleeveless shell top is organdy, covered with rows of vertical white beading.  Several shades of green floss are used for the embroidered flowers, which are decorated with iridescent rhinestones.  The hemline is decorated with a thick looped beadwork fringe.  The effect is quite striking.  The top is lined in organdy, and there are snaps at the center back.

This is paired with a long cream colored satin skirt having a narrow waistband and a center back metal zipper.  Both pieces are in pristine condition.
