Rendered in the most luxurious silver toned shantung silk, and embellished with silver claw set rhinestones and silver glass bugle beads in a trailing leaf pattern, finished with grey mink accents, this truly spectacular 1960's Lilllie Rubin cocktail dress is a marvel to behold.
The bateau neckline, is framed by a wide silver mink collar, which is sewn along a bateau neckline turned down collar. The sleeveless cut, draws the eye to the incredible embellished bust-line, which is accented by silver beadwork and sparkling rhinestones. The fitted bodice is set off by tailored darts along the bust-line and Princess seams which run along the length of the dress. The fitted waistline, draws the eye to the mesmerising A line cut of the skirt-line, which is in turn embellished with matching trailing beadwork and rhinestones. Finished with a decadent silver mink fur hemline, this mesmerising dress is sure to be the talk of any cocktail party. This dress is fully lined in nylon.
This dress has pockets along the hipline .

Condition: The dress is in near perfect vintage condition and has been lovingly restored. Gentle yellowing to the silk along the armpits. The raw silk along the armpits has thinned in some areas, and has light lifting to it, this has been strengthened and does not affect the overall wearability of the piece. A few very light and scattered pin sized age marks along the beaded hemline and bodice. These are minor and only apparent upon very close inspection. A few very light scattered pin holes to the internal nylon lining. These minor details are in no way apparent when the dress is being worn as this piece has been fully restored.Please refer to the photographs, as they form part of the condition report.
