This gown and evening coat set is incredible. Literally like nothing I have ever seen and exquisite in person. The gown is sleeveless with a high neckline and a A-line shape that goes right to the floor. The fabric is a sheer nude silk organza that has a almost animal print feel metallic thread that covers both pieces from head to toe. Both pieces have heavy beading and embellishment. The gown has a huge bib of beads and rhinestones that cover the front to the waist. The arms are ringed in gold braiding. On the hem there is a full 12" of more beads and braiding! The coat has those same heavy bands of applique and bead work on each sleeve and in a wide panel that runs down the front. I love the rounded and padded collar and how the snap is set in at its end so when closes you get a complete circle effect. The layer of organza over the inner silk on both pieces gives it depth and a wonderful sense of dimension. These are heavy pieces when off due to the extensive and high end beading but balance well once on. They are so chic and so rich feeling - you would be hard pressed to find anything like it again! It is also so versatile since you can obviously wear the pieces separately as well! It was undoubtedly a custom piece. Excellent condition with a few tiny things of note.

Both pieces are lined in silk. The dress closes with a ling side zipper and the coat has hidden, fabric covered snaps. There is minor bead loss and some very small tears to the next overlay here and there that the beads are fixed to. Along the very hem of the dress and coat the fabric has split here and there from touching the ground. - I can put a stitch or tow to secure it before shipping. Overall these are minor and you really do not notice a thing since the set present so dramatically

An interesting side note - this was pulled by a major fashion magazine for a shoot with a prominent photographer - I will release that info for the buyer!
