Argenti silk beaded dress

[mommyofone]

I would be very appreciative for any information anyone might be kind enough to provide about this dress. The brand is Argenti and it is silk. It is embellished all over with (I assume hand sewn) beading and sequins. I am thinking it is from the 1980s because it is has shoulder pads but that is just my very uneducated guess. My apologies for the bad phone pictures. I didn't find any Argenti labels in the resources. Maybe this is not a desirable brand? Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers!

I don't know the brand, but I agree with 1980s. This type dress was super popular then. The RN number ( if I have read it right) leads to this:

I see this brand fairly often but haven't yet purchased one for resale. That's because, years ago, I wasn't able to move beaded dresses very well. I haven't checked the market recently. That said, the design on your dress is quite distinctive so it may do well for you. It's pretty!

Thank you both for the input!
