1960s Unlabeled Demi Couture Bead & Sequin Copper Silk Dress

This lovely little dress has no label to tell us its maker, but was certainly a high end piece. Inside it is finished primarily by hand with evidence of some machine finishes suggesting a demi-couture level piece. The body of the dress is heavily finished with copper colored glass seed and tube beading. Tiny gold sequins are scattered throughout the circular design. All have been meticulously placed by hand and the workmanship s very fine. This is done an a deep copper silk that has just a touch of iridescence to it. The cut skims over the body with a defined banded waist. The skirt follows the hip and narrows at the hem. The sleeves are set with a slight bit of volume at the shoulder and end just past the elbow. Excellent condition

Fully lined in the same silk as the exterior. It closes with a back, hand set zipper. It appears unworn or worn very little
