1970s Susan Small Blue Silk Linen Beaded Maxi Dress
About the Item
This elegant vintage 1970s Susan Small maxi dress in a cobalt blue silk and linen mix is of superb quality and features some exquisite embellishment on the bodice, neckline and arms. The delicate coral and crystal toned rocaille beading is interspersed with large prong set rhinestones and pearlescent clusters, running in a linear fashion around the waistband and down the centre front of the bodice to enhance the bust. The straight floor length skirt falls from the fitted waistline and is fully lined in matching blue acetate, fastening with a zip at the centre reverse. Originally retailed in Beales of Bournemouth - a high end British department store, the dress is in excellent condition except for some very minor bead loss which has been replaced, and some minute holes in the lining which are not noticeable when worn. We recommend would best suit a US size 6-8, UK size 10-12.

View All1950s Turquoise Layered Tulle Net Halterneck Dress
Located in London, GB
This original 1950s turquoise and net prom dress is a real show-stopping, fairy tale piece. It reminds us of the Disney Princess dress worn by Cinderella at the ball.
There are three layers to the skirt; an acetate underskirt, over-laid with a plain net skirt and finally the top layer. This has 11 ruffle trims added in rows which give the dress a very full and sweeping profile. The boned bodice is also in the same coloured ruched fabric, imitating taffeta silk with net trim to the sweetheart neckline. The dress has a very pleasing detachable layered net halter neck that widens over the shoulders to give a little cape like effect. Fastening to the rear with the original concealed centre back zip and hook and eye closure. A long bow...
