Description
This is an absolutely gorgeous silk jacket with the most fabulous beaded flowers - it's stunning!
Totally Runway Glam!!!
By Night Vogue.
Size XL
I believe it is vintage 1980s.
100% silk, with silky polyester lining.
Black, with blue, yellow and pink beaded flowers, with greenery.
Slightly scooped neckline, edged with beading.
Stunning wide border around neck and down fronts of beaded flowers (roses?) done in glass beads, sequins and embroidery.
Some of the leaves are all embroidery in ombre thread, which adds a textural contrast.
Allover black beading with subtle accents in green and red.
Hook and eye closures down the front.
Long sleeves with floral borders at hem.
Fully lined.
This jacket is so heavily beaded that it is weighty - almost three pounds.
This is one of the most striking and intricate jackets I've even seen in this genre - it's really special.
In near pristine condition with no signs of a previous life. No damage, no missing beads, no odors - it's truly exceptional.
From a smoke-free home.
MEASUREMENTS taken laid flat, side to side.
