{"product_id":"flight-of-fancy-beaded-net-evening-gown","title":"Flight of Fancy; Beaded Net Evening Gown","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rather impractical Flight of Fancy. The weight of the glass beading (just over 2 kg) and the length of the train makes this gown somewhat difficult to wear for occasions where much actual walking around is required. It is also a tiny size, a UK 6\/8 ( US 2\/4). It would however make the most spectacular costume piece, or looks fabulous in photo shoots so would be ideal for a film or video stylist to add to their wardrobe portfolio. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in the old Brighton studio from a length of couture beaded net carefully pieced and seamed to follow the lines of the figure. \u003cspan\u003eSilvery graphite coloured glass seed and bugle beads on a pale honey tulle, it can be\u003c\/span\u003e worn over a separate pale coloured slip (not supplied), or nude bodysuit for an even more dramatic look.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eI've included an image to show how it looks over a rose-pink silk slip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress closes at the back with a long row of little Swarovski crystal buttons and worked thread loops, which accentuate the curve of the spine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skirt extends into a train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with all internal seams kept very narrow and bound with net to be as unobtrusive as possible . \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a sample that has been used in a couple of photo shoots. There are a small number of missing or loose beads here and there but you’d have to look very hard to find them. This is reflected in a lower price than if it was completely unworn. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e This unique piece is created from a specially comissioned contemporary couture textile. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e IMPORTANT: Please be sure to read both our shipping and refund policy pages before placing an order (links to both at foot of page).
