Exquisite Lavender Lace, Silk & Pearl Beaded Evening Ensemble, with Matching Handmade Handbag

All creations were originally created for the owner by Margi Kent, c. 1992, in Los Angeles.

A breathtaking lavender lace and silk satin ensemble, lavishly encrusted with gorgeous hand-sewn floral beadwork and pearl beads in fleur-de-lis designs. The beautifully detailed bustle-style top features elegant elbow-length sleeves, richly embellished with matching hand-sewn beading. The bustle top is worn over a tiered lavender silk chiffon skirt, combining flowing silk chiffon with patterned lace to create the appearance of a graceful full-length gown. The final chiffon tier can be added for a full-length silhouette or removed for a sophisticated mid-length look. Additional interchangeable pieces include a short lavender silk crepe skirt, silk satin camisole, and delicate lace “V” insert, offering numerous ways to create distinctive looks. The ensemble is completed by a stunning lavender silk crepe jacket, beautifully shaped to button at the waist with pearl-beaded closures and exquisite appliqué designs. A lavender lace and pearl-beaded stand-up collar and coordinating beaded cuffs add further elegance. A matching scalloped, handmade vintage-style handbag completes this extraordinary collection, lavishly decorated with hand-sewn lavender beadwork in varied styles and sizes, centered by a delicate fleur-de-lis design and finished with a graceful chain shoulder strap. A truly luxurious and exceptionally crafted ensemble, rich in silk, lace, pearls, intricate beadwork, and exquisite hand-finished details. With its remarkable versatility and multiple interchangeable pieces, this is a rare and distinctive evening collection designed to create an unforgettable impression. All elements of this outfit were designed and crafted by famous fashion and costume designer Margi Kent. Photographed with all coordinating elements, as well as the front, back, label and lining details. Size and measurements upon request.
