2000's Golden Silk Beaded Peasant Blouse by Bonnie Strauss.

We love her versatility! It was a warm day, so we paired with a bikini and created a poolside cover up. For our product shots, we added a slip dress for a more modest look. She works well with a bralette and distressed denim, and would make a great performance piece. Our model fell in love with the feel of the beading and the top's easy movement.

The golden, silk crepe fabric is unusual, with hints of a blue and green tie-dye pattern throughout. The silver bead work is exquisitely hand crafted, and the weight of the detail compared to the paper light fabric creates some amazing looks.

The peasant style, silk neckline is decorated with more amazing, hand beaded work and is adjustable, with a skinny silk cord. Long, bell sleeves are trimmed in hand sewn beading as more embellishments make their way up the arm. 

Unworn, price tag included, we removed for shoot. Originally priced at $375.

Shoulders free, bust 44", sleeve 27" to neckline, waist 38" hips 44", length 26".

Modern size is S/M/L and condition is Mint. Model is 5'11".
