    Unique, vintage, silver paillette beledi dress.

    This dress was hand pailletted by a local Detroit dancer named Samura back in the 80's. Pefect for wedding zeffas.

    Dress is densely covered with silver paillettes. Dress is approximately a street size 6/8. Slightly stretchy. Length from shoulder to hem is 54". Zipper in back. The mesh front is velcroed so you can wear it with a regular street bra or remove the mesh and wear with a costume bra.

    Long flowing sleeves of white chiffon are decorated with tiny mirrors and a drape of silver bugle beads.

    An extremely gorgeous dress for only $150!

    Some yellowing around the armpits and elastic. Pailletes in excellent condition.

    I'm trying to load a picture but am experiencing technical difficulties. If you are on FB you may be able to view this:

    Too bad. But this is a more form fitting dress then the beledi dress Emma S. mentioned earlier. It is really beautiful. Kids used to follow me around and say I looked like an angel, LOL!

    I would love something like this but I think it might be too long. I am 4'10" - watcha think?

    Re: Unique, vintage, silver paillette beledi dress.

    Unstretched it is about 34" at the fullest part. 30" a little higher up. It should fit a size 6/8.

    It is a straight edge bottom so it could probably be taken up without too much problem. It's 30" from hip to edge

    I don't have a picture of the dress being worn.


    Additional pics showing sleeve construction.

    No trades as I am no longer performing and have no need of costumes.

    How long is this from shoulder to floor...If this is right size, think I will indulge!
