About MeBrown floor-length gown with full-length sleeves and draping A-line skirt.This sumptuous dress has been beautifully hand-made and finished. Here Anne has kept the decoration to a minimum but with great effect. Both dresses feature the jali neckline, which has been carefully trimmed with gold braid and gold sequins in leaf shapes.
Worn as a stage outfit for performances by Anne Logan (neé Brand) and her sister, Laura, who regularly sang together on 'The White Heather Club'. It dates to the late ninteen-sixties or early ninteen-seventies.
1930, 1956
