I thought you might like to see this incredible 1980s evening gown by Lillie Rubin I just listed. That huge flower is completely sculpted by hand from metallic lame and brocade fabrics. Truly drool-worthy!
Hi I discover that the designer of your dress is Eugene Alexander, I bought the same dress and after I remember your post here... on my dress there is his label. Very often some of the most beautiful Lillie Rubin Dress were created by him. Stunning, I think the value is different ;)
We actually had a small thread about him going a number of years ago here. http://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/wanted-eugene-alexander-dresses-clothing.24000/
