Evening Gowns
I wasn't sure where to post this but I have a bunch of evening gowns from the 80's that are COVERED in beads, sequins and beaded fringe. Some of them may weigh 30 lbs+ -- I can barely lift them due to all the beadwork. Is this something that Bhuzzers would be interested in buying? I wouldn't even know what to charge on them? Like $15-20 each? The beading is incredible - they've never been worn but some of the beads have fallen off because of the age of them. I know they can all be converted into costume pieces. Just trying to get a feel before I go thru the whole photographing them, sizing down, uploading to website process.

Thanks!!

I bought a sequined evening gown a whole back, knee length, and recently turned it into an awesome milaya dress! That's one option...Here it is:

Re: Evening Gowns
Also interested, especially if there's one with shades of bright lime/neon/apple/spring green, set that one aside for me!

Also anything primarily gold, especially if it also has some kind of pearly white.

Re: Evening Gowns
Sweet! I will work on that today!!! Athallia there is a yellow dress that is like a flapper dress but the flapper fringe is ALL beads. My friend has that one, not sure if she'll part with it but I'm pretty sure she will. It's AMAZING.

Ok, Be on the look out - there's some chiffon skirts, too. I hope to get it posted this evening - if not - it will be in the next couple of days! Yay!
