About MePeach and cream silk brocade evening dress with a scalloped neckline, boned bodice and full skirt. The bodice, shoulder straps and top part of the skirt are heavily encrusted with dusky pink bugle beads and crystal stones in a scrolled foliate design. Bugle beads applied at different angles was a favoured technique with dressmakers, as they catch the light better, making the garment shimmer.More About Me
Bugle beads (cut lengths of glass cane) applied at different angles and crystal stones make the bodice, straps, and skirt top of this evening dress shimmer.
