Holy Cats! Look at what I found this week! I'll be posting it soon to my ebay auctions. It's a stunning 1980's Zandra Rhodes silk crepe gown that is embellished all over with beads and sequins and pearls crystals and embroidery. It is in immaculate shape.

Gorgeous! I especially like the beading on the sleeves. :)

Okay - toatlly unrelated, but I have Zandra Rhodes dress story.


A woman who got my name from the local theatre, called me very desperate because she had borrowed a dress from a friend, wore it and ripped the hem. Could I fix it? She says in a very, very expensive 1930s designer label dress. I am intrigued - a Chanel? a Schiap? a Molyneux? anyway - I say: " I''ll see what I can do".

She brings it over. The rip is all of 1/2" right at the very edge of a rolled hem, so it's an easy fix. But - I know as soon as she walks it with it , it isn't a 30s dress.

It was a rather pretty white poly? beaded Zandra Rhodes with a handkerchief hemline. Nice, but not the 30s Chanel I was exepecting.

I'm usually not a fan of beaded items but that is stunning!

Very nice!

I have never seen a Zandra piece I didn't like.
