FIRE SALE!!!!!

WITH A BROKEN HEART, MY BUSINESS IS SHUTTERING.

I AM OFFERING THIS BEAUTIFUL GOWN FOR WAY

BELOW WHAT I ORIGINALLY PAID FOR IT. THIS ASKING

PRICE IS A HUGE LOSS FOR ME BUT I AM HOPING THAT

SOME COLLECTOR SEES IT FOR ITS TRUE WORTH.

I have always had a place in my vintage loving heart for the designer

Hannah Troy. I once saw a drawing of hers and took it to my seamstress,

she made the exact dress for me in a festive Scottish tartan (McQueen).

So many compliments!!!

This gown is incredibly, architecturally constructed and it actually took a 

couple of different fittings on my mannequin before I got it correct. Made 

of a perfect sheer Silk chiffon, the more I worked with it, I found it gasp 

worthy. The top has a low, slightly scooped fitted bodice with an overlay 

of Silk that provides a Sabrina, or a boatneck neckline that meets the straps 

a little wide on the shoulders. It is the small touches that work. The back is 

low and scooped with Silk overlay. 2 hook & eye at the top left strap, and the 

closure for this dress required a physics degree from MIT. :)  Sort of...Once 

totally open, there is a 15" nylon zip up the left with a hook & eye at top; also 

there are 7 snaps to close the fabric over the zipper. Then the ribbon belt has 

to be looped around the waist and secured with 4 hook & eye at the waist 

(photos 18-20). From the waist left, the Silk layers fall asymmetrically all over 

each other, cascading down for a full fishtail effect.

Taking photos of a black gown can be incredibly difficult so I lightened the

exposure in photos 07 & 23 so that you can see the complicated beauty of

it. The gown is seriously Black Tie/ Red Carpet worthy but could be perfect

for an outdoor garden or ocean wedding (guest or bride).
