All that glitters.....

.....is instant sartorial gold. Maybe it's the blinding effect of all those sequins but we're suckers for anything spangled. Luckily for you, these are more glam rock than rest stop so add a little glitz to your wardrobe. Warning: it's addictive.

Early '80s Oleg Cassini sequined mini dress

**click to enlarge**


Black, backless and bedazzled, this sizzling Oleg Cassini mini dress pretty much defines the word show-stopper. The slouchy top and dolman sleeves keep it just this side of scandalous and the black sequins are sparkling, not scary.
Labeled a size six, it's more like a 0-2.
SOLD

Late '70s I. Magnin sequined harem jacket

If the windbreakers looked like this, we would've never skipped P.E. ! Dripping in black, silver, and gunmetal sequins, it's short in the front with a rounded longer back and two front hook & eye closures. Amazing over drainpipes or a mini.
Labeled an 8 but its slouchy style will fit a range (0-8)

Early '60s lime beaded & sequined evening dress

Comparatively demure, this floor-length confection is the perfect cure for the winter doldrums. Figure-skimming, with elaborate floral beading all around the neckline. No designer or size labels but a "Made in British Colony of Hong Kong" label - impeccably made.
Will fit a modern 6-8, hem is creased, not unstitched.

'70s "Tally Boutique" sequined tulip skirt

Concerned that there just wasn't enough disco ball taking place with this black slit-to-thigh skirt we took the liberty of throwing a hologram sash on over it. From "Tally Creations - New York" this bit of seventies sparkle can also be worn as a top. Labeled an 8, it seems pretty true to size. Sash can be included. -
SOLD
