1960s Turquoise Embroidered Tulle Evening Gown

Some gowns are made for unforgettable entrances.

Layers of turquoise embroidered tulle fall from the high waist into a long, fluid silhouette, while delicate metallic threads shimmer softly as they catch the light.

Elegant without feeling overly formal, she would be magnificent for a black-tie celebration, a summer evening occasion or the Goodwood Revival Ball.

Dating from around the late 1960s, this unlabelled gown was chosen for its beautiful movement, distinctive craftsmanship and rare sense of occasion.
