Experiment and find your favorite variation
A quality velvet or beaded gown in a perfectly tailored silhouette looks genuinely glamorous
The fitted bodice is graced with soft pearl work and bugle beads, while the beaded straps are modern and cleancreating an open V-back with touches of floating floral lace and cross-hatching along the sides
Ive posed the dress with a more recent shorter slip, but the slip is obviously not right - this would look best with a full length black slip
