The Manhattan gown is a truly breathtaking piece. Entirely hand-beaded and hand-embroidered, it is adorned with hundreds of 3-D flowers, accented with beads and trailing lines created in glass beads, faux pearls and sequins. Fitted through the bodice the gown skims the hips, cascading out into a regal train. The lining has a sweetheart neckline, leaving the décolletage and sleeves sheer. The impeccably tailored sleeves are edged with a subtle scallop and end at the wrist. The open back is secured with fine bias ties and fastens with an invisible zip at the centre.

SIZE & FIT

Size 10AU. This gown has a close-fitting bodice and is true to size.

CONDITION

This sample is in fair condition with a few loose beads here and there, however due to the fully beaded nature of this dress this is barely noticeable. A few of the thread flowers have unravelled slightly and there is a slight fabric tear at the base of the zipper which could be repaired by a seamstress. Some of the sequins have yellowed with age and the beads have oxidised slightly. The hue of the silk has also darkened a little and is cream rather than off-white.

Kindly note that all studio sample sales are final, and cannot be returned. If you need further assistance, please contact production@boandluca.com.
