It is the entire statement. Thousands of silver sequins and faceted crystal-effect beads are hand-sewn across 100% pure silk in a sweeping arabesque pattern, the black background disappearing almost entirely beneath the weight of the embellishment. Up close, the variation is visible: flat black sequins building the dark forms, bright silver-tone beads tracing the scrolling lines between them with a glittering precision that photographs simply cannot do justice to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silhouette is relaxed and easy! A straight, unstructured cut with long sleeves and a round neckline finished with a narrow beaded trim, sitting hip-length with a gentle A-line ease from shoulder to hem. The front opens on a concealed zip. The pure silk lining carries the same quality commitment as the shell. This is a piece that understood exactly what it was made for: an entrance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeen to try on?

The label operated across three fashion capitals simultaneously, targeting the international occasion-wear market. Pieces turn up in collector circles and at auction, where the combination of 100% silk construction and hand-applied sequin and bead work distinguishes them from the mass-produced eveningwear of the same era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e For best fit, we recommend comparing measurements with a similar garment you already love.
