This Malcolm Starr silk gown is absolutely stunning. The color is a touch softer then how it presents in the photos and actually works better that way! It has an air of refinement and elegance to it through the combination of the silk and the thick panels of beading. The dress its self is a simple cut - an almost sculptural collar set so that where it meets the top of the dress it as almost right angles out to the arm holes. The body of the dress is a simple sheath that skims the body to the ground with a slight A-line. Beautiful ribbons of organza are beaded, sequined and covered in rhinestones and then set in vertical bands from the top of the bust to below the knee. The encircle the entire dress and add a wonderful glint and sparkle to it! Wonderful piece and in excellent condition!
