DESCRIPTION

60s Geoffrey Beene gown in a classic, elegant style. The fabric is thicker and gives an architectural body to the gown. Nylon zipper, bra keepers, fully lined. I've seen this gown described as silk, however I did a burn test and it left a bead as in a synthetic. This could be logical as synthetics were the new big thing and all designers wanted to incorporate them.
