Beaded chiffon party dress, 1970s
This exquisite two-piece beaded party dress, obviously expensive when new, came from the wardrobe of the socialite who owned the Ted Lapidus beaded evening dress. Our party dress is both ladylike and sexy.
Fashioned in two parts from heavenly pale, peach silk chiffon, this beauty exudes the self-confidence of a woman with social status who knows where she is going, yet enjoys her femininity.
The chiffon skirt is attached to a matching satin slip; the beaded over blouse is lavishly embellished with faux pearls, silver beads, rhinestones, and iridescent sequins.
The gracefully flared skirt falls in soft folds below the hipline. The princess line slip closes in back with an invisible zipper. The over blouse closes in back with an invisible zipper and at the wrists with chiffon covered snaps. The label has been cut out, but the quality of work speaks for itself.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
The size is marked 4.
The slip measures: 36" bust, 28" waist, 42" hip, and 41" center-front length.
The blouse measures: 40" bust, 36" waist, 42" hip, 17" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, 23" sleeve length, 8" wrist circumference, and 24" from the shoulder to the hem.
