All eyes will be on you wherever you are in this Stenay black beaded evening dress! It features a high neckline in a halter-like style, with beads over sheer netting in the front and back bodice area. Bugle beads and seed beads are patterned on the exterior silk layer and the garment is lined with a black polyester fabric.

The fabric label is Size 6, however please use these measurements to assure your best fit:

Arm opening is 19 and 1/2 inches and it is angled up from the lower arm opening
Bust size is 36 inches
Waist size is 32 inches
Hip is 39 inches
Full length is 57 and 1/2 inches
Hemline is 35 inches

As you can tell from the photos, the top has a beautifully shaped neckline that will bring all the attention right to your best features.

A rear photo shows the deep back slit, which makes walking and sitting easy in this dress. Of course, it also provides the added benefit of a special view when you are walking away from your audience.

Both the front neckline and the back have a similar design, however the back has a back zipper.

As far as I can tell, all of the beads are intact. In the future, if any beads are lost, a small bag of black beads is still attached for your use.

There are no snags, holes or damage of any kind that I could find to report.

The back zipper functions well and the top hook and eyes are intact.

Shaping defines this dress, as I hope shows to advantage in these photos. Those aspects make the dress fit like a dream.

As you can see, the silk exterior fabric is sheer, and the inner layer of polyester is opaque. If you want to see more detailed photos, I will be happy to send close ups to show any level of detail.

This vintage Stenay long beaded Little Black Dress is in Excellent Vintage condition and was well stored by the original owner, who never wore it.

It would also look wonderful with an evening wrap or a velvet evening coat for a different first impression. Then when you removed the coat, WOW!

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
