Description
The beading is worked on fine tulle in a scattered pattern that is denser at the hem and opens up towards the shoulder, so the weight sits low and the gown falls straight. Underneath is a separate silk slip, attached only at the shoulder, which means the beaded layer moves independently of the body.
Midnight blue reads black at a distance and blue under a camera flash. Last of this run — we are not making it again in this colourway.

Care
Specialist dry clean only. Store flat in the bag provided. Beaded tulle snags — keep it away from velcro and from rings.

Stunning but it is heavy and it does snag. Mine caught on a bag strap. Easily repaired but be careful.

The beading is genuinely hand done. You can see the thread path on the reverse. Worth the price.
