Super pale pink midweight silk shantung fabric dress. Heavily beaded around the neck with seed beads, bugle beads, shaped plastic beads, faux pearls and rhinestones. More beading at the ends of the sleeves. Skimming shift dress with no seam at the waist. Lined in pink acetate, nylon zipper down the back. Very well made, probably custom sewn.

CONDITION: Looks great at a glance, but unfortunately there are multiple areas where the fabric is worn and thready. Most noticeable is a 1-1/2 inch spot along the zipper on the back. The fabric is fraying and becoming a hole. On both of the bottom-sides of the dress are 2 to 3 inch long areas of fraying holes as well. When you hold the dress up to the light, you see smaller scattered holes and fraying spots.
