Each collection, the designer has a favorite design, and the hand beaded striped gown with taffeta skirt is this collection's winner. Subtle sparkle stretch beaded bodice in black and ivory stripes recalls old Hollywood/ French riviera style. Skirt is 47" from the waist which can be gathered in with the removable taffeta sash. Skirt slits 20" down from the waist. Center back zipper.
