    Could this be a Stavropoulos? Thea Porter? Stephen Burrows?

    Hi, Can anyone help identify who might have designed this gown? I'm not even sure whether it's 60s or 70s but it is incredibly well-made. -Unbelievably, the silk lining & the silk chiffon have identical patterns printed on them & somehow the designer managed to get them to line up perfectly -...
