1960s Doreen Lok Gold and Turquoise Beaded Maxi Dress

This exquisite 1960s Doreen Lok gold and turquoise dress is a perfect choice for a very special event. An absolute show-stopper and this level of intricate detail is rarely seen in such flawless vintage condition. Full length, this gown features a delicate round collar and straight down silhouette which hugs your curves. Beaded in Hong Kong, a country known for the finest beadwork in the world at that time, this sleeveless concoction is adorned with thousands of vibrant turquoise and glittering gold beads. The beadwork forms floral motifs which trim the high neckline, sleeves, bottom hem and run down the centre of the dress. The shimmering lining shines through the delicate metallic lace that creates a dimensional golden overlay to the dress that allows the turquoise beads to really pop out to the eye. This stunning piece is lined throughout with gold satin and fastens at the rear with a concealed zip. A good fit for a size UK 8-10 or US 4-6.
