Evening dress

French

Not on view

The evening dress featured here is of great interest due to its fascinating beadwork. The combination of coral bugle beads, gold lamé and coral velvet trim is stunning and shows the great workmanship required to create such a piece. The design has an overall folkloric feel, often seen in decorative patterns from the twenties.
