{"product_id":"1960s-italian-silk-beaded-gown-with-split-train","title":"1960s Italian Silk Beaded Gown with Split Train","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eAcquired from a private Italian estate, this extraordinary one-of-a-kind Italian silk beaded gown is part of a remarkable collection of mid-century Roman couture from the atelier of Mario Luciani. Preserved together in the same wardrobe for decades, each piece was custom-made for one woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from creamy silk, the gown is defined by its hand-finished embellishment. The fitted bodice is overlaid with delicate lace, intricately hand-embellished with sequins, pearls, tiny silver beads, and iridescent glass beading that subtly catch the light. Draped strands of iridescent beads accentuate the waist, while pearls delicately trace the collar and armholes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA softly defined drop waist opens into a dramatic full skirt, its sculptural volume created by layers of stiff tulle beneath. The split train is internally supported with tulle to maintain its elegant shape, creating a striking architectural finish. A low scalloped back is completed with six silk-covered buttons that conceal a hidden zipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe split train was thoughtfully modernized to become detachable, allowing for greater versatility in styling. Hidden hook-and-eye fastenings are discreetly concealed beneath the beaded waist strands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1208 Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49550613250200,"sku":"1208-00092","price":6590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/0678\/7224\/files\/1208-00092-4.jpg?v=1784917069","url":"https:\/\/1208vintage.com\/products\/1960s-italian-silk-beaded-gown-with-split-train","provider":"1208 Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
