This vibrant hand beaded purple dinner/date dress is a vintage Black Tie Oleg Cassini SIZE 8. Its below the knee length has a 2 layered look with a sheer layer and a silky lining and flows big time whether its dancing or just walking. The top (above the breast) and the sleeves are also sheer with added hand beaded work that is gorgeous! The sheer layer and beading is in impeccable shape but please note the pictures as there is some minor wear thru in the in bottom lining. This however does not deter from the beauty of this timeless dress and cannot be seen when wearing it. The color is rich and tasteful but is definitely a head turner. The back has a zipper and a top latch above a peak thru area. The sleeves also have a snap at the wrist if you chose.
