This 1990s bespoke made intricately decorated gown is crafted from the most stunning ombre shades of turquoise manmade chiffon. It features a fitted bodice with internal boning for extra shape and support. The top section has a classic sweetheart neckline which is embroidered with floral designs in a paler turquoise thread, silver sequins and accented with teal-coloured diamantes. The straps are embellished with diamante detail, with a circular rosette attached to the top of each shoulder. The back of the dress is cut in a low, flattering V shape, with a central embellishment and eight adjoining diamante straps. The skirt is gathered around the waist and flows into a beautifully lightweight skirt, which contains intricate insert panels with further sections of silver and diamante embroidery. The skirt is made up of three layers - an inner white lining, a plain chiffon, and then the outer layer of embellished turquoise. It fastens down the back at the base of the bodice with a crossover pop stud fastening, and concealed metal zip.

A genuine one of a kind dress; this belonged to a lady who was a fabulously wealthy heiress and had all her clothes made for her. This dress would be ideal for a grand special occasion party or event and is in wonderful vintage condition. We noted a handful of faint pulls in various locations on the skirt; however, these are completely lost in the folds of the fabric. It would best suit a size 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US.
