80s Vintage Black and White Beaded Dress by Laurence Kazar
Vintage Black And White Beaded Cocktail Dress
A fantastic vintage beaded party dress by Laurence Kazar. This flapper style dress is made of silk with a heavily embellished top and a chiffon overlay skirt. The bodice is tank style with a low scooped front and low back. It has four rows of tube beads around the neck, arms, and hem. Round white beads are used to make a beautiful abstract floral pattern on the chest, straps, and hip. The reminder of the bodice is embellished with back seed tube beads in a free from pattern. The top is attached to the skirt which is full and made of two layers, one silk and one chiffon (the skirt has a straight hemline and is not lower in the back as it appears in the photos). There is a full back zipper. This is a beautiful party or special occasion dress in very good condition.Item: Vintage 80s Beaded Party Dress
