DESCRIPTION

A striking Vintage Lawrence Kazar New York cocktail dress worked in dense turquoise, cobalt, purple, emerald, and black sequins and tubular beads. The fitted sheath silhouette has short sleeves, a softly scooped neckline with a pointed front dip, a sheer black patterned yoke, and a scalloped hand-finished hem. Swirling paisleys, stylized flowers, and curling vines create an exuberant jewel-toned surface over a black shell. The sewn-in label identifies the shell and lining as 100% polyester and the size as L.

WORTH NOTING

The beadwork continues across the front, back, and sleeves, while the sheer upper yoke gives the ornate dress a lighter neckline. A back zipper provides closure. This is a substantial embellished garment; individual beads and sequins may shift with wear.

MEASUREMENTS

Label size L. Estimated from the hanging photographs: approximately 36–39 in overall length and 18–20 in across the bust when laid flat. These dimensions are estimated, not hand measured; please allow for variation and compare with a similar garment.

CONDITION

Pre-owned with visible loose and protruding threads at the shoulder/sleeve edge shown in the close-up, and a short pink thread or filament caught near the turquoise trim. The label shows age and fraying. The photographed zipper, lining, and broad fields of embellishment appear present, but every bead has not been individually counted; expect occasional looseness or loss typical of a heavily embellished piece.

STYLE NOTES

Let the saturated beadwork lead with black pumps and a compact clutch, or sharpen it with metallic sandals and sculptural earrings. The fitted shape and jewel-tone palette suit cocktail parties, holiday dinners, gallery evenings, or any occasion that welcomes unapologetic sparkle.

FROM THE HOUSE

This is the sort of dress that turns movement into light—every paisley and petal catching its own little glint. May it bring a touch of midnight garden drama to its next celebration. ~ Genevieve
