Prettiest Fall 1981 John Anthony Couture Moss Green Silk Chiffon Dress w Hand Beaded Detailing Guest Editor Anita Clarke! This is a really phenomenal

This is a really phenomenal gown whose photos here really do not fully convey the beauty of the fabric or the richness and pure genius of that thick border of fabric "feathering" at the collar

It is attached but set into the waist so that a part of it wraps around you and then hooks into place at the side of the waist

There are some small faint marks at the front of the skirt and along the waist as well as one on the top

I decided to leave it as is so the new owner can choose the length that works perfectly for them or leave it at its full length it is now

The exhibit was broken into different themed galleries and this dress was a part of the garden themed section
