1980s Trained Bellville Sassoon Heavily Beaded Gown

This is a very rare and beautiful Bellville Sassoon gown that really shows why women like Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor chose this label for special events. The label also designed for Princess Diana. There was even an exhibit of their work last year at The Fashion and Textile Museum. This gown is a gorgeous combination of textures that give it a beautiful and rich feel. Every element on the gown has a depth and texture to it separate from the others and yet it all works perfectly together. The body of the gown is a crinkled metallic silk that has a floral pattern of deep red roses. The muted autumnal colors flow into each other in tones of deep browns, olives and russets all with a hint of metallic to them. The bias cut skirt flows to the ground, widening as it nears the hem and it has a longer train at the back. The bust is set high and is covered in embroidery and bead work - 3D in some places - giving it a rich luxurious feel. It is just exquisite! Excellent. appears unworn condition.

The dress is fully lined in a chocolate silky rayon. It closes with a handset, back painted metal & nylon zipper. Tagged a UK 12 but please check actual measurements
