Gorgeous 1980s beaded cocktail dress. Golden girls style!

Things don’t get more 1980s than this luxuriously beaded cocktail dress! Thousands of black and silver beads embellish this beauty. There are a few spots where the strings are coming loose but the only area I see a loss of beading is a few inches on the back of the neck which you can see in the last picture. this dress is a bit heavier than most because of the beading and includes shoulder pads which can be easily removed with scissors. Laying flat this dress measures from armpit to armpit across the front at 18 inches. The waist measures about 15 inches across the front. There is probably 2 inches of stretch at the waist. Incredible and unique find!
