VTG Jimi Fox NY Brown Velvet Dress Jacket Opulent Beaded Prong Set Rhinestones S
La Rue Paris Couture

Opulently beaded with crystals and prong set rhinestones, this two piece outfit will make you the star attraction at your next event. Take a look at the outside photos where the beads are creating a dancing rainbow on the back wall. Just amazing quality stones! Some of the faceted prong set rhinestones are HUGE! The largest measuring 1/2" in diameter. There are so many crystal beads and rhinestones, it's hard to get a size perspective in our photographs. Let my say this, is as opulent as you could ever want. The bottom of the sleeves at the wrist also have this stacked up beading. The collar measures approximately 4" wide and the sleeves beaded trim is 3" wide.

Now on to the rich fabric. I believe the thick dark brown velvet is a silk rayon blend. It has that high quality, lush hand (feel) to it. The color is very dark brown. The bottom hem has started a color shift/fade to a slightly more coppery brown. The dress is lined with a subdued brown silk that is very light weight. The arm holes are faced with black velvet of the same high quality. The interior jacket is lined with a thick silk satin in a cream color. The dress has a simple curvy cut, nicely darted to accentuate the feminine silloutte. Original metal zipper still works nicely and is located in back. It is shown with a string of pearls that are not included in the sale. The jacket is cropped and has a hook and eye closure at collar only. Clearly it's the piece de resistance! 

At first glance this set looks pristine but under close inspection I found: 

  • Color shift on bottom hem of dress. Blends nicely and looks like the velvet is "catching it's light". Meaning it looks like a high lighted. 
  • Minimal bead loss. Mentioned for accuracy. We really did not see anything that stood out, but with all these crystals we could have missed one. 
  • Dress has bead impressions on front. The jacket was stored folded on top of the dress. The wrist beading left an imprint on the dress. Not bad but should be mentioned. 
  • Seam at bottom of zipper needs a little bit of sewing.

It pains me to mention these small issues but I don't want any surprises when it arrives. I assure you that the condition and quality of this set is stunning. It's clean and ready to wear upon arrival. It will be carefully packaged to assure the rhinestones don't touch any other part of the dress.
