Unworn, with a silver beautifully beaded floral design, this Papell Boutique Evening top still has the attached bag of beads for any future repairs. The beads are silver and include seed beads, sequins and small round beads. Black silk fabric is used for the exterior and the full lining, also in black, is polyester. There is a slightly dipped waist and short sleeves.
Remember that with fully beaded garments there is no stretch, so please make sure it will fit you comfortably by comparing these measurements to something you already wear.
Shoulder to shoulder is 16 and 1/2 inches.
Armhole opening is 18 inches.
Sleeve is 8 and 1/2 inches.
Bust is 35 inches.
Length of the top is 23 inches at the lowest dip in front and 19 inches on each side.
Hemline width is 37 and 3/4 inches.
There is a back zipper.
Both the front and the back are beaded in the same style (the back is shown in the last two photos).
There is a back zipper with a hook and eye at the top.
It has never been worn and there is a bag of beads that was provided by the designer for any future bead repairs that may be needed.
As you can see, it is a flattering design, with scalloped edges at the bottom. There is a lowered waist in the front and back, with a rise at each side, which makes for a superb fit at your waist and hip.
Overall the design can be described as floral with rows of scrolls as accents.
There are no built-in shoulder pads.
It is from the Papell Boutique Evening line, which is part of the Adrianna Papell design company. As you would expect from this designer, the workmanship is top notch with quality evident in all aspects of the design, the beading and the choice of the sheer silk fabric.
The label inside identifies this as "Papell Boutique Evening, Shell 100% Silk, Lining 100% Polyester, Made in India".
There is always room in your accessories wardrobe for a beautiful beaded evening top like this, with the condition in "As New" Mint Vintage.
After a careful inspection, I do not see any missing beads, although with this much design there may be a few gone. If there ever are any lost, you will have extra beads in the bag that is provided for future repairs.
The lining interior and the exterior silk fabric are both free of stains or snags.
It comes to you from a home with no pets and no smokers.
This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
