Richilene Fortuny-pleated skirt, jeweled & sequined bodice exquisite violet gown

This is the most beautiful dress I have ever owned, full stop. If you get invited to the next coronation ball, this is IT. But in the meantime, in this gown, you will own the red carpet or the dance floor at any event. The union-made vintage American workmanship and craftsmanship is beyond superb -- jeweled beads, sequins, and purple soutache passementerie lavishly layered to catch the light -- a flattering, Renaissance-style square neckline and the ornate bodice above the long Fortuny-pleated skirt. It is breathtaking. Measurements: length 54 inches; sleeve [with concealed zippers] 22 inches; pit to pit 17.5 inches, slightly exaggerated shoulders 17.5 inches. From a smoke-free, dog-loving home.
