Exquisite Malcolm Starr metallic gold evening gown from the 1970's. Mandarin neck embellished with covered buttons down the left shoulder area, set-in waist with unattached gold sash, sheer unlined full sleeves with wide cuffs, closing in the back with a long zipper. Completely lined other than the sleeves with a matching cotton blend fabric.

There is a condition issue. On the right sleeve where it adjoins the body is a 1 inch fabric shred. I have photographed this area closely for your inspection. Otherwise this is a glamor girl dress.
