This truly breathtaking 1960's lemon silk chiffon Mike Benet gown, embellished with trailing silver glass beads, in an undulating and abstract pattern, is the perfect statement piece for that special occasion. The V shaped neckline is framed with medium width shoulder straps. The elegant fitted bodice, is decorated with trailing silver glass beadwork, which draws the eye to the pointed under-bust seam, setting off the elegant Empire line cut of the bodice. The silk chiffon overlay, drapes elegantly along the silhouette and boasts a near full circle cut which hangs in subtle pleats. The dress is sully lined in a matching yellow nylon mix.
