1950s Fully Beaded Brillant Turquoise Gown designer-chanel The gap between the two

The gap between the two sides plunges to just below the belly button so is scandalously sexy

The perfect finishing touch is the tightly spaced row of lace covered buttons  that run up the back of the bodice

Underneath the brim is lined in a ribbed silk grosgrain fabric and the interior has striped silk

It is done in a tubular mod shift silhouette that is very easy to wear

1950s Fully Beaded Brillant Turquoise Gown designer-chanel The gap between the twoI always have a soft spot for these formal beaded 1950s gowns and it is very unusual to find one in such a magnificent color! The satin base is a deep azure turquoise blue and it is quite beautiful. The fabric has a floral pattern worked through it and then onto this are a combination of seed and tube beads that follow and highlight that design. This is done from top to toe making the gown a good weight when you lift it but once on it perfectly
