Oleg Cassini Nude Rose Gold Bead and Sequin Illusion Evening Gown - US 6, 1990s

About the Item

Achingly similar to Sharon Stone’s nude Bob Mackie gown in “Casino,” this illusion gown covers all the naughty bits with a solid crust of rose gold sequins, silver beads and rhinestone nuggets but leaves the rest exposed by a thin layer of flesh tone silk. With wide shoulders, an hourglass body and a gentle trumpet-flared skirt, it skims the figure like a body stocking but betrays no secrets. Vintage round neck evening gown with long sleeves, close-fitting body and trumpet hemline. Heavily beaded and sequined across neckline and shoulders, in inverted “V” pattern at front and rear thigh and at plunging illusion bodice; elsewhere sprinkled with silver bugle beads over full surface of gown except sleeves. Keyhole back with hook and eye at rear neck and nylon zipper closure from mid-back to derrière; covered button with looped buttonhole at mid-back. Fully lined in nude acetate from bust to hem, excluding plunging bust line. fabric: silk, acetate (exclusive of decoration) noteworthy: professionally spot clean only; do not dry clean and avoid using alcohol-based aerosols (perfume, hairspray) while gown is worn. alterations: re-beaded and secured loose beads and sequins where necessary; re-hemmed and reinforced interior neckline condition: very good with above invisible repairs measurements: neckline diameter: 7 ¼” across shoulders: 14 ¼” sleeve: 23” from shoulder, 17 ½” from underarm sleeve circumference: 13” at upper arm, 9” at cuff bust: to 36” waist: 30” hips: to 38” total length: 56” from shoulder, 48” from underarm sweep: 155” (dress), 120” (lining) label: Black Tie (Oleg Cassini bridge line) / made by He-Ro Industries, Inc. size: size 6; comparable to modern size small
