1960s Cream Beaded Malcolm Starr Dress designer-bessi slips on and has buttons

slips on and has buttons at the neck

multi-color dot print

It is elasticized so stretches to fit

A row of decorative buttons trails down the front and I love how the pattern is used to create the illusion of "cuffs" on each sleeve

1960s Cream Beaded Malcolm Starr Dress designer-bessi slips on and has buttonsThe bead work is so gorgeous on this dress! The entire neckline and front is heavily beaded and that stunning bead work continues all around the waistline as well. The base fabric is a off white silk blend and the beads themselves a combination of gold and a true white. Set so that they actually stack atop on another the entire beaded detailing has a fabulous 3D effect. I love how the pattern is almost jewel like in feel like a huge elaborate necklace
