About the Item

A spectacular example of Loris Azzaro’s early Parisian evening wear, this gown pairs an exquisitely embellished beaded lace bodice with a dramatically tiered champagne silk satin skirt. The bodice and three-quarter sleeves are worked in fine ivory net lace, densely hand-embellished with pearlescent seed beads, faceted crystal bugle beads, iridescent sequins and clusters of pink, green and black glass beads arranged in scrolling floral and foliate motifs. The scalloped lace hem falls gracefully at the hip to meet a four-tier asymmetric skirt, cut to fall shorter on one side and sweeping longer on the other in a fluid side-to-side cascade — a signature Azzaro construction of the period. The reverse features a matching low scoop back with full beaded lace coverage. A concealed zip fastens at the side seam. Labelled Loris Azzaro Paris, Made in France. No size label; please refer to measurements.
