Halston Fall 1980 Black Chiffon Beaded Firework Dress designer-fendi Here we have a beautiful

Here we have a beautiful embroidered muslin that appears to be all hand work

This dress gets the full on feminine treatment though - the entire front bodice is corded to create leaves and stems and then a virtual flower garden of little embroidered flower heads are stitched into place giving it a 3D appearance

The ends of the loop are gathered and sewn for a touch of structure

Absolutely gorgeous 1950s dress with superb detailing
