1960s White Lace and Pearl Embellished Dress and Jacket Set

About the Item

This stunning two-piece ensemble is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. We believe it to have been made in Hong Kong in the 1960s, an area known for its outstanding beadwork during this time. The look is composed of a dress with a simple, sleeveless shift-dress silhouette and a lightweight jacket with a heavily beaded collar. The dress is sheer and crafted from delicate white lace. The embellishment across the dress is elaborate; tiny 4-petal flowers are formed from double rows of iridescent white seed beads, nestled amongst the creamy pearls that are dotted across the lace. The jacket is tailored from coordinating white lace, also detailed with this exquisite embellishment. The collar is the stand-out detail of this piece. Heavy and padded, it is covered with white lace and smothered in fringing formed from hundreds of rows of iridescent seed beads, each topped with a single pearl. The sleeves are cut slim and slightly cropped at three-quarter length. The dress fastens with a tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasp at the rear and the jacket is secured along the front with hidden hook-and-eye clasps. This ensemble is in excellent vintage condition, particularly for a piece of this level of intricate detailing. Due to the silk lining perishing, we have carefully removed every trace in both the garments. It would look fantastic with modern nude or tonal shapewear underneath. It has no size or composition label so please check the measurements below carefully. The fabric has no stretch. We estimate a best fit for sizes UK 6 - 8 or US 2 - 4 with an emphasis on the smaller size as this was tight on our mannequin. MEASUREMENTS DRESS BUST - 30 in. (76 cm) WAIST - 26 in.
