This set is gorgeous and it is so rare and hard to find a piece in this color that is as pristine as this dress is! The dress itself is classic Grace Kelly-esque day. A linen like base in a just-off-white color is cut in a simple sheath. It has a slight elastic waist which is unusual for this time but makes it easy to wear. The little fabric tie belt allows you to cinch it in if your waist is smaller. The outstanding detail is the beading - soft pastel beads are used to create a ring of flowers around the hem and circling the neckline. They even finish the tie belt ends! It comes with its matching Scottish Cashmere sweater that has that same wonderful hand beaded detail all across the shoulders and down the front and adorning each cuff! Just an absolutely wonderful set and I would bet that the dress part of it was never worn!
