80s ball gown.

1980s vintage ball gown by LILLIE RUBIN.
White beaded top with blue taffeta skirt.
Formal wedding party dress

I always love a good ball gown! This one is particularly striking.

Fitted bodice is made up of a sheer white lace and then covered with beads and sequins. Long sleeves end in a snap wrist. Deep V back. Under the sheer lace is a formed strapless bodice.

Wide waist band in a pretty peach is ruched and hooks in back with 2 hooks.

Skirt is amazing! Full and gathered with yards and yards of a very pale aquamarine. Top layer of the skirt is actually 3 layers - the aqua taffeta, a netting, and another gold layer in between the two. Wide sturdy hem tape creates volume and fullness. Then there is an attached tiered crinoline, and finally the lining that goes against the body.

Wear it as an evening gown or it would also make a gorgeous wedding gown.

Highly styled and structured.

Excellent condition. Has been cleaned but there is the customary soiling at the bottom of the hem where is dragged on the ground. Could use a steam.

Measures:
No stretch.
