1950s Fully Beaded Brillant Turquoise Gown designer-chanel Underneath the brim is lined

Underneath the brim is lined in a ribbed silk grosgrain fabric and the interior has striped silk

It is done in a tubular mod shift silhouette that is very easy to wear

Terrific piece in excellent condition and well made as one would expect from Oscar de la Renta

This wonderful piece from the fifties just might be a contender

Its a mid weight so not as fine as a suiting would be but not heavy and bulky either

1950s Fully Beaded Brillant Turquoise Gown designer-chanel Underneath the brim is linedI always have a soft spot for these formal beaded 1950s gowns and it is very unusual to find one in such a magnificent color! The satin base is a deep azure turquoise blue and it is quite beautiful. The fabric has a floral pattern worked through it and then onto this are a combination of seed and tube beads that follow and highlight that design. This is done from top to toe making the gown a good weight when you lift it but once on it perfectly
