Truly Vintage Fully Hand Beaded Elegant Maxi Evening Gown

I have had this amazing vintage gown in my closet for some time, just waiting for the right moment to share it! I am in absolute awe of the expert handiwork and patience that went into creating this garment. It is a full length, elegant and regal evening gown.This is a hand stitched gown from the beading to the lining. This beauty is fully HAND BEADED!!! Delicate white beads are set amongst tiny ribbons and a uniquely textured, embroidered fabric. Lines of tiny silver beading connect the white beads - it's all incredible! The last photo shows the back of the fabric and evidence of the hand beading application. I love the elegance of this gown- It's feminine, sexy, and so figure flattering. My estimate is that this is from the 60s - 70s. Being vintage, please know that this has signs of wear and aging. With the extent of the beading, there are undoubtedly some missing beads, but it's not noticeable. There is no one area that is lacking a noticeable section of beads. Actually, I'm impressed by how the beading has endured so well. Fully lined Bra holders Call outs - 1. Minimal discolouration at the armholes and very minimal at left front chest. 2. Lining ( see photos ) has a some separation along the waistline. 3. I'm pointing to the back zipper which peeks out midway down. ( photo 10 ) Not a concern but if this bothers you, a quick fix would be to add a hook. Gown laid flat: Pit to pit - 18 Waist - 15 Length from the top of the strap to the hem - 49
