Striking Green Satin & Beaded Floral Organdy 1960's Ball Gown
Sheer sleeveless bodice of blue, green and purple covered with iridescent sequins and green, clear and dark grey-blue glass seed beads. Slit at the back (in the photos of the rear of the gown the slit appears longer than it actually is because the dress was too snug for the form and would not zip all of the way). Attached green satin band with bow at the natural waist. Dress has a full, gathered skirt (shown here with an additional crinoline... not included). Rear nylon zipper. Dress has an attached strapless bustier covered in sea green organdy. Skirt is lined in tan organdy. Although I did not find a label it is a really well made gown.
