Gene Shelly Sequin Bridal Dress
About the Item
This decadent, FULLY beaded capsleeve dress is an exceptionally beautiful example of Gene Shelly's work. The hand-beaded stretch wool fabric hugs the body, making dancing a joy. This dress would be a gorgeous option for a bridal shower or could be cropped for an afterparty dress for a wedding. The beading has to be seen in real life to be believed. It's jaw-dropping. The rich sequining shimmers as you move. All of the sequin work that covers this dress was done by hand in Hong Kong. At the time, Hong Kong was doing the best sequin and bead work in the world outside of the specialty ateliers in Paris. While it no longer as its Shelley label, the dress was identified as Shelley by the vintage collector it came from. They simply do not make dresses like this anymore. Because of the stretch wool fabric, it could work for a size US 2-6 and might stretch for a size 8.
