MACKIE Gold Beaded Gown on Black Net with Scattered
Rhinestones! Yup, this is one of those better and earlier
"Jessica Rabbit" Mackie gowns... the ones you want to find...
totally beaded onto netting. Now even at this high-end level, Mackie
gowns are of various degrees of quality, uniqueness and
collectability. It's a fine line, but you will start to notice the
differences if you pay attention. Some of the gowns are more
sequins than beads. Some of the beaded gowns are more heavily
and intricately beaded than others. This gown is not one of the
museum quality couture or original boutique gowns where the lining
was easily removed, and the beads strategically placed so the gown
could be worn by the most daring like Cher, but it's certainly one
of the better RTW gowns with black silk crepe lining - the next
generation Mackie produced. Boned bodice will stay up beautifully.
Long slit for the va-va-voom leg. The Mackie label is missing, but
you have to trust me that this IS Mackie!!! No question!!!
I feel like I'm the Mackie expert. I guarantee it. Gold bugle
beads in an "animal" pattern studded with a few flat-top
rhinestones. Measures: 35" bust, 29/30" waist, up to 39" hips,
43" long from natural waist to hem, 24" long slit! Excellent
condition with the only possible issue is that the zipper doesn't
lay completely flat... so for those of you who are perfectionists,
it might have been re-sewn. Otherwise, it's near perfect!
NEW LISTING!
