About MeBlue nylon floor-length gown with full-length flared sleeves, and A-line skirt.Here clever use has been made of this stunning dip-dyed fabric for this dress. The fabric also contains a silver lurex thread through it creating shimmer, perfect for the stage. Anne has added decoration to the dress in the form of large appliquéd flower motifs trimmed with bugle beads, sequins and diamanté beads.
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.
