Besides the amazing prints on evening wear she is so famous for, the hand-beading on Diane Freis gowns is simply UNHEARD of today...this PHENOM piece is one my favorites in the whole collection! Love LOVE the "ethnic boho" vibe - think Glamorous Bellydancer! - and the HEAVY LUSH beading on this is just remarkable.
Vintage early 2000s DIANE FREIS Purple/Black Silk and Gold Lame' heavily beaded "Gypsy" evening gown. In Silk chiffon, the bodice has a mesh overlay that looks like a seprate piece (but it's not!). The beading on the front, back and straps...JUST WOW! Fully lined.
ORIG PRICE FOR THIS LINE WAS $600 - $1000US.
