About the Item
Calling all divas! Wall-flowers need not apply. This is an absolutely show stopping gown dripping in Old Hollywood glamour. From Shirley MacLaine to Mae West, the references that come to mind are endless.
Renato Balestra couture black silk chiffon column silhouette gown with sheer diagonal panelling across shoulders and sleeves. The right shoulder is adorned with black micro sequin's set with clear seed beads. A diagonal panel of chiffon drapes across the silhouette punctuated with lavish black ostritch feathers. The gown's dramatic train is trimmed with more plush ostritch plumes. The body of the dress consists of two layers of chiffon and a third partial layer that cuts diagonal across the bodice and trails into the train. Side zip closure on the dress and snap closure at shoulder fr the outer layer.
Overall great condition with one mended spot shown in the 10th photo located at the front bodice. Other teeny points of mending are nearly undetectable. A once in a lifetime piece to cherish and celebrate.
