1960s Arnold Scaasi couture beaded and sequined cocktail frock size S free shipp

In the 1960s, designer Arnold Scaasi was all about couture couture couture. He designed the fabulous pantsuit that Barbra Streisand wore to accept her first Oscar. He went on to design gowns for first ladies and for more Hollywood celebrities.This dress is an exceptional example of design and craftsmanship: the overall silhouette, the geometric pattern of the slightly full skirt below the fitted bodice, the drama of the scoop neckline. Everything on this dress is in almost pristine condition; I have, in a bottle, six black sequins that have come loose. The beadwork is exquisitely wrought. This dress is lined in a matte black silk, as shown in photos 10 and 11. There is no size tag, but the measurements are: length 36 inches; pit to pit 16 inches, shoulder 15.5 inches, sleeve 24 inches, natural waist 13 inches [the skirt begins from a slightly dropped waistline]. From a smoke-free, dog-loving home. Please ask for more details if you wish. Free shipping.
