This stunning 80s flapper fit & style stunner/statement midi/ tea length gown in silk and silk chiffon ... dripping in irrisecent beads, sequins and pearls will stir up something inside of you. The irridescent sequins capture the light & sparkle like something out of a fairytale princess story!
This gown will make a statement, that is undeniable! ... whether it is a black tie or evening event, a prom, an outdoor special occasion, a stage show or even as a gown option for your own wedding .... soooo very special!
** Beautiful micro bead & irridescent sequin roses/flowers defined & surrounded by pearls are stunning at the shoulders (front and back both) and the top of each arm. Again, stunning!
** The beads & sequins are hand sewn in place in such a way that they cascade down the front & back of this dress like a wavy waterfall of beauty. This continues on each sleeve as well. Just stunning!
** The hand beading continues at each sleeve end, below the wrist with half triangles and more beaded around each edge ... the dangling beads & pearls (2.5") that will cascade over the hands of the lucky lady who wears this dress. Beyond stunning!
** And lastly the dramatic affect of the handsewn irridescent beads of different sizes that cascade & dangle like prisms on a chandelier begging for the sun light to come & in turn shares the beauty for all to see. The beads cascade/dangle (6") down & over the chiffon bottom under skirt ... and the swing of the skirt flows with air and with movement like dancing and walking. Completely stunning!
