ID: 0114253

Size: small

Condition: excellent

A truly breathtaking and incredibly rare Jacqueline of Paris sparkling chartreuse fully-beaded silk hourglass gown dating back to the late 1950's. This piece is a true testament to the opulence and craftsmanship of mid-century French couture.
The gown is a striking chartreuse color and is fully embellished with sequins that gives it an iridescent, almost liquid quality. The tiny silver fan-shaped motifs are masterfully beaded and delicately arranged to create a soft, textured shimmer across the entire dress. The low-cut plunge backless bodice is sculpted to fit the body like a glove, with intricate boning that gives it structure and support. The waist is beautifully nipped in, creating a dramatic, hourglass silhouette. I love how the skirt tapers dramatically to the hem, and the side slit offer an air of seductive intrigue. So Marilyn Monroe! This French showstopper gown is a rare combination of intricate beading and sculptural tailoring, making it a perfect piece for an Old Hollywood-style gala or even as an exceptional bridal gown for a fashion-forward bride seeking something truly unique.
