1960s Bead & Pearl Encrusted George Halley Gown designer-stavropoulos Skirt: 47" from empire waistThis amazing gown only gets better as you get nearer and see the many details that have been added to its entire surface. Rarely do you see a piece so heavily encrusted with appliques as this piece. It is entirely hand finished and meticulously crafted. The fabric is a stunning green silk brocade and just the pure beauty of that perfect green makes its own statement. I believe it to be hand woven silk and there is a secondary color at play underneath
