Beaded Evening Dress

1950s

Rose gold coloured brocade evening gown. Straps are wide on the shoulder and would likely have been worn slightly off the shoulder. The neckline dips in the back. There are paniers inserted in the hip area to create a fullness which makes the waistline look smaller. There are also gathers of the fabric at the hip further accenting both the hip and the waistline. Donor's name should be Harriet Bunting-Wells
